Last night, there was a book party at Reed Space to celebrate the release of It's All Good by photographer Boogie. Published by Powerhouse Books, It's All Good, is a chronicle of the 'hood.

Spotted: Powerhouse's Miss Rosen and gal about town Alexis T.

From Amazon:
This is an explicit and compelling expose of junkies, gangsters and their families in new york's most notorious housing projects. A gritty, graphic and gripping expose 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 gains 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 viewers to a place few will leave and most will stay, a place where escape is one rock, one shot, one glock away.
