Exploration du quartier de Bushwick, avec son street art et ses bonnes adresses

My first sketch at the new wat...

More of Carlos. The pole and flag used to signal the flock is in his hand. He went out of his way to give my friend and myself a great show. His flocks where not as shy as others I have met, swarming and doing low loops around the rooftop Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

Nick is good friends with Goodwin, and thats where I found them yesterday, flying their pigeons. We chatted and watched the pigeons for over an hour as the sunset. Goodwin looked at Nick near the end, pointed to me, and said, "See, he can't stay away from pigeons either. Its in em now" Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

Frankie has been keeping pigeons in Bushwick since he was seven, turned 87 today. He bought his first pigeon for a nickel, and kept it on the fire escape of his apartment, to the annoyance of his parents. A retired carpenter, I asked him if he had built the coops on his friends house (the one in this picture). He said "Hell no, not this stuff, its crap, I was a real carpenter" Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

I have been watching the circling pigeons from Maria Hernandez Park for sometime, hoping to meet the guys who keep them. Today I talked my way up on to one of the roofs, with three big coops and four guys. Luis, who keeps most of the birds, was a great host, and loved the camera. Here he is holding a baby. The man knows and loves pigeons. They are beautiful to watch circling overhead, but even more amazing up close. Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

Another of the Pigeon keepers of Bushwick. He goes by Tree (It might have something to do with him being I think six feet five) and like the much older Frankie, bought his first pigeon when he was seven. Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

Delone showing me his pigeon catching skills. I could post another three pictures of Delone, a natural in front of the camera and smart as a whip as well. Here is the prior picture: Delone Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

I am going through my old photos, working to put together a show for March. I found this picture from almost a year ago. Artists are everywhere. You can find them on the roof of grimy apartment buildings in run down areas of Brooklyn waving bamboo poles choreographing flocks of gorgeous pigeons. It aint the MOMA, but it works for me. My show will open March 9th at Urban Folk Art Gallery on 101 Smith St, Brooklyn. The opening reception will be at 7PM. More of the series here: Pigeon Keepers of NYC

Whitey may not have the most pigeons in Bushwick, but they are to my eye some of the most beautiful. Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

This self guided Bushwick murals tour in Brooklyn showcases some of the best NYC street art (includes a mural map and other attractions)

Another of the coops. I love the combination of disorder and order of these coops. Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick

I was back on Luis's roof this afternoon. Almost every Pigeon Keeper had his birds up, the sky was filled. We watched as a Red Tailed Hawk hunted pigeons, all the while being chased by sparrows who use the hawks feathers for nests. A nice way to spend a fall afternoon.

Here. Granted, we write about things that are happening in Bushwick all the time. But in my own experience trying to coax people out here on the weekends, unless you live nearby, it’s pretty easy to find excuses not to make the trek. Hence, it deserves the summer weekend guide treatment. This particular weekend, the...

David Malone, friends with Mike Tyson since childhood, still keeps pigeons with Tyson on a roof in Bushwick. Both grew up in Brownsville and have been keeping Pigeons since then. David who spends his time between Bushwick and Vegas, could not have been more welcoming. Their roof has some of the most amazing birds I have seen. "Mike has been good to us guys he grew up with, he's not forgotten growing up the way he did" Here is more of the series: Pigeon Keepers of Bushwick
