Chris Arnade (who took this wonderful portrait) writes:

Felicia owns the building where Mike Tyson keeps his pigeons. I have been a few times to photograph the birds and Mike’s friends. Felicia is always out front sitting in her chair talking to the neighbors.

Super friendly she always keeps me chatting. This time I asked to take her picture and she said “I ain’t famous like Mike or his friends, why me?” Because of your smile!

Pepe: Bushwick Brooklyn

Chris Arnade (who took the above portrait) writes:

Pepe was outside a corner bodega when I complemented him on his appearance. Eighty- five, a retired truck driver, he raised eight children in Bushwick. “The worst thing about being old is having to bury a child. I have done that three times. One was shot working the bodega, another passed from illness, and the third in the World Trade Center.”
