Speedway

Project Selects

These photos are all taken from daily walks to the Speedway gas station a block from my home and the interview below is with a man who calls himself Mango and is the focus of the second half of Speedway. This project is about an unlikely community space.

Mango sits, feeds the birds, and paints outside of the gas station. He is a remarkable man who has lived a tough life but has kept a wonderful spirit and perspective through it all. I’ll let the photos and video tell the rest.
