Hard Times in Brooklyn

I’ve long been an admirer of the stark and gritty work of Serbian photographer Boogie. His ability to immerse himself in a situation and vividly capture the feeling and emotion of that moment is breathtaking. Boogie has accomplished this feat time and time again, with his coverage of Nazi Rockers, Italian hip-hop, and of course his grittier work of documenting gang violence in Bushwick, Brooklyn or the destructive nature of crack addiction.

Time magazine is currently featuring a moving photo essay, narrated by Boogie, on their website. It’s called Hard Times in Brooklyn, and is well worth your time.
