Humans of New York: Stories

In the summer of 2010, photographer Brandon Stanton began an
ambitious project -to single-handedly create a photographic census
of New York City. The photos he took and the accompanying
interviews became the blog Humans of New York. In the first three
years, his audience steadily grew from a few hundred to over one
million. In 2013, his book Humans of New York, based on that blog,
was published and immediately catapulted to the top of the NY Times
Bestseller List. It has appeared on that list for over twenty-five
weeks to date. The appeal of HONY has been so great that in the
course of the next year Brandon's following increased tenfold to,
now, over 12 million followers on Facebook. In the summer of 2014,
the UN chose him to travel around the world on a goodwill mission
that had followers meeting people from Iraq to the Ukraine to
Mexico City via the photos he took. Now, Brandon is back with the
follow up to Humans of New York that his loyal followers have been
waiting for: Humans of New York: Stories. Ever since Brandon began
interviewing people on the streets of NY, the dialogue he's had
with them has increasingly become as in-depth, intriguing and
moving as the photos themselves. Humans of New York: Stories
presents a whole new group of humans, complete with stories that
delve deeper and surprise with greater candour. Let Brandon Stanton
and the people he's photographed astonish you.
