From The New York Shitty Photo Pool, Part I: Brother
Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) writes:
Brother owns Bodegas, multiple apartments, and many top flight pigeons. He also has the first in-apartment coop I have seen; a specially constructed sealed room filled with birds who come and go through vents in the windows.
Brother, funny, charismatic and smart, went out of his way to show me around, a gracious host. I struggled to capture the scene, a stark but yet well lived in apartment with a pool table, scattered liquor bottles and a massive sealed room filled with prized pigeons.
From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Seasons Greetings From The Bronx
Chris Arnade (who took the above photograph) writes:
The weather has been warm, work anything but jolly, so I was happy to find some holiday cheer in the Bronx. This plot of land, complete with a club house and chickens, is hemmed in by the surrounding apartment complexes. Its the tree fort for the block, with Pigeon guys on the roofs above and a classic bike club across the street.
Raoul, a bike nut, helped with the Xmas tree. My favorite decoration, the skeleton, was his contribution. I love Christmas, especially in New York, a city that gives everything a unique spin.
