I’ve been fascinated & infatuated with urban photography since I had joined the military back in ‘99 (thank God that’s over) and one of my favorite photographers in this category was, and still is Boogie who was born in Serbia (now that’s gangsta) and has been living in NYC ever since. He recently released a book titled “It’s All Good”.
A gritty, graphic, and gripping exposé of the underworld and its inhabitants, It’s All Good, the first monograph by Boogie, presents the predators and the prey in the drug game today. Shot in New York City’s most notorious neighborhoods—Bushwick, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Queensbridge—Boogie gained intimate access into a world few dare to venture, a world closed to outsiders, a world of crackheads, junkies, and gangsters. From the cops patrolling the project roofs to the addicts overdosing on the streets, It’s All Good chronicles ghetto life in stark, heart-stopping images and intense testimonials. Boogie brings us to a place few will leave and most will stay, a place where escape is one rock, one shot, one glock away.
