The picture of Victor E. Navarro Jr. looks back at you from the sidewalk. He’s probably in his mid 50s, not too thin, deep eyes looking at the camera. His mohawk is promi- nent, with hair cut very short on the sides to underline the volume above. It is a picture intended to be, most likely, for an official document, one of those pictures with a neutral and uniform back- ground, against a pinkish wall meant to disappear but which here makes it looks like Victor is jump- ing off the picture to punch you in the eye. He’s not posing neutrally. He’s not even posing. It seems as if he was about to say something in the moment in which the photographer said “smile”. Probably a “fuck you” or most likely a “jagoff”, in pure Pittsburgh style.
