“I first met Chris online around 1999 to 2000, being a recovering alcoholic I stumbled across the website intervention.org. I had exchanged a few emails with Chris and had a particular interest in his work as a photographer. Having read many of the blogs and writings of Chris I gained valuable information about recovery. In early 2007 I relapsed after 7 years of sobriety, feeling alone, guilt ridden and confused I called Chris on the phone, he immediately helped me find a local meeting and the following day had his sponsor call me on the phone, Somehow I wasn’t surprised but was still very much inspired by the kind actions of someone I had only met via the internet. I can not imagine what more an employer might look for or want in an employee. I would highly recommend Chris, he helped me tremendously in a time of need, freely and without obligation. Sincerely, Timothy A. Hynde” May 8, 2007.

ART STATEMENT
Chris Keeley Washington, D.C.
"Keeley's photographs, which deal with the many facets of obsession, speak to the internal search many individuals undergo during the lifelong quest for meaning and self-awareness. Capturing pain, longing, torment, despair, hope, and love within the faces and forms of his images, Keeley draws on his own inner obsessive quest for knowledge as inspiration. His images are unsympathetic, and communicate the inner emotional trauma of the homeless, the addicted, and of the lonely, as well as pride and the strength of human bonding experienced by addicts in recovery. By revealing the essence of his subjects, the works magnify with often unsettling clarity the pain of discovery, joy of friendships born of pain, or turmoil of new journeys that resound within each person. Through these poignant images he challenges the viewer to look within one's own heart, to question, affirm, accept, or reject, leaving one with valuable insights into our own places in humanity."

“I first met Chris online around 1999 to 2000, being a recovering alcoholic I stumbled across the website intervention.org. I had exchanged a few emails with Chris and had a particular interest in his work as a photographer. Having read many of the blogs and writings of Chris I gained valuable information about recovery. In early 2007 I relapsed after 7 years of sobriety, feeling alone, guilt ridden and confused I called Chris on the phone, he immediately helped me find a local meeting and the following day had his sponsor call me on the phone, Somehow I wasn’t surprised but was still very much inspired by the kind actions of someone I had only met via the internet. I can not imagine what more an employer might look for or want in an employee. I would highly recommend Chris, he helped me tremendously in a time of need, freely and without obligation. Sincerely, Timothy A. Hynde” May 8, 2007.
