Giovanni poses in front of the leather store that once served the community of Bushwick. A lit menorahh in the window sill illuminates the early morning and frames the teen. In the predawn hours he poses for a photographer before starting his busy day.
He wears a hand me down , woolen coat from his taller brother. A coat, given to his brother from his father a coat that has lasted a lifetim. it hangs off his thin body to his ankles. A single button keeps it closed.
His worn leather work boots protect bear witness to his labor. Hours, days weeks, on his feet, walking the avenues of Brooklyn. . Proudly he dons a Gatsby cap on his blonde locks, and smiles for the camera. He can not keep his attention on the photographer but looks to his right to a friend.
Newspapers protrude beneath his left arm, the inventory of his business venture. He warms his feet on the subway grates before he makes his way to his corner.
