cover story | THE HIVE | The Lovely Bee

I’m pretty excited about the current issue of Social South…

…Because I got to write the cover story!!!! AHHH! This is huge for me! 🙂

The story is about a guy who you might have heard of before… His name is Elvis! But the story is also about a guy named Keith who the outside world is not as familiar with. Keith is a really cool guy. He has a HUUUUGE collection of never-before-published Elvis photos, so many of these photos are what you’ll see when you read the story in Social South! Even the cover photo had never before been published!

I learned so much about The King that I’d never even heard before. I grew to really appreciate where he came from after a two-hour visit with Keith, his daughter Tiffany, and Spectacles Gallerist Lucy (who you’ll learn more about in the story.) They taught me so much! But I’ll let you read more about that in the piece, which you can get to HERE on pages 29-32! 🙂

Keith ended up having limited edition prints of some of the negatives he has of Elvis produced to sell to help fund local child advocacy centers, which I thought was so nice! What was even nicer is that he just GAVE me three of the prints! I absolutely love them. They are so special, especially after learning about what a tender-hearted man Elvis was. The fact that they’ve never been seen by the outside world makes them extra special.

I think this one might be my favorite. He just looks so chill!
