Posted by Hassan Kinley | Filed under Film + Video
At times I forget how blessed I am to be surrounded by highly ceative people all day everyday. Dennis and Alison are part of that creative community. When Dennis came to me the other day to borrow my tripod for a project him and Alison were working on, I had no idea what the finished product would be. Now that I see it, I am once again reminded how blessed I am.
Great Job guys. – *Raoul

Cover by Cynthia K. Cortes
NY, NY – On March 23rd the Damon Dash Gallery became the backdrop for the highly anticipated preview of Karin+Raoul, the new magazine of avant garde sensuality, photography and art. The gallery was abuzz with a who’s who of NY’s downtown scene. Presenting the “common in an uncommon way” was the theme of the evening as guests enjoyed wine and cool vibes as images of brazen sensuality played on the walls of the gallery. It was a beautifully staged presentation of the first issue of K+R that is sure to set the city on fire. – Phil Mckenzie
