STL DPB IN NEW YORK - BRIGHTON BEACH

Day 1 of the New York street photography workshop. We started in Brighton Beach, an Intense neighborhood I never had a reason to visit when I lived here. It's Russian-Ukrainian-Jewish-miscellaneous Middle Eastern. As many signs are written in Cyrillic as Latin characters. When I paid for something in a local shop, the cashier said spasibo - thank you in Russian (one of about four Russian words I know). We had lunch in a Uighur restaurant.

Not sure what these two women are about. Maybe mother and daughter, standing under the Q Line el.
