Bruce Gilden: Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NYC,  2014.
On assignment for La Monde, Bruce Gilden traveled to the oceanside Brooklyn neighborhood of Brighton Beach to photograph characters on the street. Just east of Coney Island, the neighborhood’s long been a destination for mostly Jewish Russian and Ukrainian immigrants. This long trend is evident in the Russian store-signs, restaurants and businesses that still line Brighton Beach Avenue.
