Ep 41: Story Time - Mexico City lessons

In this Story Time episode, Keith recalls a spontaneous weekend trip from Texas to Mexico City for some solo photography—and how ignoring his wife’s advice to “be careful” caught up with him almost immediately. What started as a carefree adventure quickly turned into a lesson on staying alert and street-smart while traveling. A little mischief, a lot of reflection, and one unforgettable experience. Recorded live at Grown Folks Stories, a monthly storytelling event hosted by The Silver Room in Chicago—founded by our August guest, Eric Williams.

Ep 37: Story Time - Outside my bubbles (my IG Feeds)

Before I split it into multiple accounts, my Instagram feed was a mix of all the different communities that I photograph.  As a member of those communities, I have met some amazing people and captured some awesome moments.  However, my passion for documenting subcultures created an IG feed that had the kind of range that made some people really uncomfortable (and wondering what was going on).  This is the story of how I enjoyed the journey curiosity led me down some fun paths.
