The summer heat wave that has taken hold of New York City welcomed the perfect pairing of photography and philanthropy on Wednesday evening. Guests of the Photographers for Friends Cocktails and Auction event, benefiting Friends In Deed, stayed cool inside Phillips de Pury&amp;#039;s newest spot on Park Ave. The event showcased the work of more than 100 photographers, including Annie Leibowitz, Steven Meisel, Bert Stern, Herb Ritts and Robert Mapplethorpe and coincided with the charity group&amp;#039;s 20th anniversary. A buzzing crowd of photography enthusiasts, collectors and socialites filled the room. Fashion-forward attendees included Bergdorf Goodman&amp;#039;s Linda Fargo and co-host of the evening, Francisco Costa. Ally Hilfiger said there was one photo up for auction that she just had to have. &amp;quot;I bid on a piece of art for my dad,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;The picture of Andy Warhol holding a newspaper \u2014 I had to have that for him. He loves Andy Warhol. I think it&amp;#039;s going to be perfect for Father&amp;#039;s Day.&amp;quot; Fine arts photographer Marcia Resnick flitted between pieces of art and conversations wearing a black vintage Laura Ashley dress, black tights and boots. A profile she took of Mick Jagger was up for auction. When asked who she would like to have as a subject now? &amp;quot;Bob Dylan today,&amp;quot; Resnick said. &amp;quot;I also think Lady Gaga is great as a subject. If I had the opportunity to photograph her, I certainly wouldn&amp;#039;t say no. She&amp;#039;d be someone I could have a conversation with and it would be totally cool. And back then, in 1980 when I took the picture of Mick Jagger, I certainly didn&amp;#039;t say no.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
