From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part II: Pepe
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.”
