The Irak crew is built up of some of the most hard working people ever, and society begs to differ. Reading up on some of the documentation's, photograph's and works of this family really doesn't give them enough credit for what they do. A little quote from VICE magazine "New York’s graffiti scene in 2001 is made up of some of the most reckless drug users in America. Their crew is called Irak. They are rude, illegal, sometimes gay and always on the verge of losing their lives. We like to write about people who get fucked up, but this is bigger: Sacer, Semen and Earsnot are more than just “most wanted” on the NYPD’s hit list." by Bruce LaBruce
I just want to dive into one member in particular Dash Snow or SACE, rip. You can wiki his life but I just want to give some of my input. He is in my mind a truly incredible photographer though the drug uses prove to be to much for him. He died at such a young age but his work will span for many more years. He walked against society and the law with his head held up high. He lived outside the box.
Some of Dash's Photography, working those late nights
Look him up now!
