PA-LA LOMA is a bicycle club located in Bushwick, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. The members of PA-LA LOMA don't get together to practice biking as a sport, but to enjoy each others company and relax, what they call "bacilar". After spending sometime with them and appreciating their pimped bicycles, we understood that the main reasons why these guys get together is their love for retro collectable bicycles and puerto rican brotherhood. They all agree that by riding a bicycle they don't only save money but life is more enjoyable.

Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY: PA-LA LOMA, a club for uncoventional bikers.

Brighton Beach in Brooklyn was named "Little Odessa" due to many of its residents having come from Odessa, Ukraine. After the Siege of Odessa in 1941, over 25.000 people were killed and 35.000 more were deported. Many of the city’s Jew emigrated to the US and settled in the Little Odessa. It is today one of the largest Russian communities outside Moscow. As if the ocean would bring memories and objects from their past, the beach becomes a space for meditation and exploration in time. http://www.mathilderousselgiraudy.com/
