Andy, The Pirate





Andy, a street vendor in Brooklyn.

Unfortunately, last year, he was pushed onto a third rail train track after getting into a dispute on his way home. Authorities declared him dead for 30 minutes, until miraculously, his heart started beating again. Only having to undergo surgery on his head and left hand, he's still making and selling jewelry.

Instead of mourning the loss of his fingers, he laughs. He always wanted to be a pirate.
Now he really is.
