For nearly a decade, through his enigmatic and compelling Polaroids, Jeremy Kost has been telling the stories of New York s nights from within its hottest party spots. An outsider on the inside track, Kost is both a reveler and a documentarian, striding deep into the darkest corners of the nightlife and emerging with beautiful images of the chaos, energy, and excitement found there. Kost has been the sole photographer to capture a complete millennial portrait of New York s famed drag queens, go-go boys, transsexuals, and wild-partying celebrities.    It s Always Darkest Before Dawn is Kost s first monograph and collects the best, most outstanding recent images of New York s current club culture.
