Over the past couple of weeks I have been obsessed with this blog called Humans of New York. It is a a collection of quotes and stories with photographs of people all over New York City. This video gives a small glimpse into the background of Humans of New York and the guy who started it, Brandon Stanton.
Humans of New York is all about the people. They are individuals within their own world, each of them has a story to tell and a lesson to teach. The blog does not follow a set guideline or list of questions, it is personal and creative, pertaining to each person. The quotes are sad, inspiring and thoughtful.
The photos of the people are beautiful and intriguing, especially when matched with their quote. Each post gives a new glimpse into the lives of everyday people. They have a past, a life worth noting and showing the rest of the world. One sentence and a photo, that is all it takes to change your views on anything and everything.

This is great, Kaleigh.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a very honest and humble guy taking honest and humble photographs. I've always thought this would be a good idea to pull off with homeless people around America. I suppose it works with anyone though, as people are fascinating.
Thanks for the share,
