| Wow! Stanton's compilation of photos and stories must be very good to have them published into a book. https://www.flickr.com/photos/fabienne/11046266555 |
A photographer named Brandon Stanton takes pictures of New Yorkers to add them to his Humans of New York website, to delight his audience. He planned to take photos of these people so he could map their pictures, but then began to place them into a blog. As he acquired a larger fan base through Facebook and Tumblr, the blog is no longer just a project, but blossomed into a comprehensive compilation of stories from the various residents which his viewers can appreciate/enjoy. The scope of these photos later expanded beyond New York, into other countries such as Pakistan, Iran, and Greece to share the stories of people over in those places too. Some of these stories seem pitiful, others are humorous, some are adorable, and some are hopeful. Mr. Stanton goes through the entire spectrum of emotions, further exemplifying the diversity. The people in the photos all seemed to have similar poses, they either stood up or sat down, usually staring at the camera. Every human has a story to share despite racial, social, and economical barriers. Mr. Stanton captures this theme beautifully in Humans of New York.
