Indio w/ a Red Magggie

Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Indio w/ a Red Magggie. Through out the boroughs of New York City a community of people breed, raise and train domestic pigeons. It is a sport and a hobby that provides a distraction from the world below and a opportunity for tenderness where it is difficult to find. Photographing this community has been a way for me to explore and learn about a subtle piece of history in a city that changes by the day.
