Mike Watt shows different frame of mind in 'On and Off Bass'

The punk rocker is playing at the release of his book 'On and Off Bass,' a monograph of his San Pedro photographs. He's still making music, and the stillness of his photography contrasts with his work schedule.

Punk mainstay Mike Watt was out late playing a show at the local ballet school the night before, but early on a Saturday, the bassist best known for his work with seminal indie acts fIREHOSE and the Minutemen is in San Pedro's port waters, in his kayak, a palm-sized digital camera strapped around his neck.
