RAW is an indie arts organization for artists, by artists.

Our mission is to provide artists of all creative genres with the tools, resources and exposure needed to inspire, cultivate, and advance their art to the next level; independent of agencies and the like.

At the forefront of this mission is our eclectic artist showcase featuring talent from all genres, including: film, fashion, music, art, makeup, hair, makeup and performing art.

RAW hand-picks and accepts submissions from local talent to be produced in our monthly showcase in each city.

By producing all genres into one showcase, RAW events come together to form powerful multi-faceted evenings that bring unique exposure and inspire creativity.

Thursday April 5th in Philadelphia is no exception.

Join 4 Bands, 5 Runways and 15 Visual Artists in a four-hour show!

I just learned that my friend died.  We weren’t very close but we got along great. We shared our passion for   nightlife photography.  She use to come out with me to lower east side’s Angel and Kings to practice shooting and learn from me.  From time to time she would call me for advice on camera’s to buy because she kept loosing her’s. She also lost her phone a number of times and I had difficulty getting ahold of her.  Today I thought to myself to reach out to her and see how’s she doing and suggest we go out to New York City and photograph today.  I didn’t know I was going to find out she OD’ed on October 31, 2010.   I didn’t know any of her friends or family so no one told me till I posted on her facebook page “hey we should catch up and hangout”.  I can’t believe her facebook page is still being posted on of people saying I miss you… and Happy Valentine’s day.  To me I thought she didn’t spend much time on their and she was very popular.  I had no clue  that facebook would continue after you die.  Either case now I learned something new and I’m very sad to know she is gone.

I miss my friend.  :(

I was surprised that the picture above that I took of her was use in her obituary .  I never thought I took of a friend would be used to remember her in death. This freaked me out.

the Bridgehampton Polo Club

the Bridgehampton Polo Club

And yes I went to the Hamptons for a Polo Event. It's been a while but the Bridgehampton Polo Club for the Mercedes Benz Challenge seemed like a good spot to get reacquainted with the sport. I was accompanied by the Tri-States own ArtChick most of you know her as a club photographer extraordinaire and she is now one of the hottest wedding photographers money can buy.

For Artchick it was her first time in the Hamptons. She really seemed to enjoyed photographing the horses and the event from behind the scenes. She dug right in with her usual vigor and at one point we almost interjected our self into the match and were quite relieved not to get stomped on . Artchick held her ground and got some amazing shots in all the ensuing kaos.

We opted out of the VIP festivities and decided on the more traditional tail gate. I dawned my yellow summer afternoon cocktail jacket and personified the picture of Hamptons society circuit.The traditional Divot stomping at half-time with spectators wander all over was a hoot and gives you a good feeling of the vastness of the size of the field. It's fun and a great opportunity to meet people .
