As anyone who’s stepped foot in the borough can tell, Brooklyn is a constellation of neighborhoods, of people, of ethnic diversity. Though the identities of each neighborhood are constantly in flux, documenting them is great fun. Before this past weekend’s meetup, I certainly had my own preconceptions about Brighton Beach. While some of them rang true (especially for the shoppers along Brighton Beach Avenue), we found an array of colorful personalities along our 4+ mile route.
Below are some fantastic shots of folks we encountered along the walk. I’m sure there will be plenty more to come, but for now, I hope you enjoy!
