Cry Now Free Video Library

These portrait images document me inside my second-floor bedroom on Troost Ave in Kansas City, MO, in which I operated the Cry Now Video Library from 2016-2018. You might picture a ‘little free library’, on a not-so-little scale. Comprised of 2000+ VHS tapes, 9 televisions, and 8 VCRs, Cry Now was an oversized time capsule of moving images from the late 80’s to early 2000’s. Videotape and VCR rentals were available at no charge, with no membership required.
