Have you ever heard of a blog and social media page called Humans of New York? Read the text in the About Section of the blog to learn about it.
My name is Brandon and I began Humans of New
York in the summer of 2010. HONY resulted from an idea that I had to construct
a photographic census of New York City. I thought it would be really cool to
create an exhaustive catalogue of the city’s inhabitants, so I set out to
photograph 10,000 New Yorkers and plot their photos on a map. I worked for
several months with this goal in mind. But somewhere along the way, HONY began
to take on a much different character. I started collecting quotes and short
stories from the people I met, and began including these snippets alongside the
photographs. Taken together, these portraits and captions became the subject of
a vibrant blog, which over the past two years has gained hundreds of thousands
of followers. With over 300,000 collective followers on Facebook and Tumblr,
HONY provides a worldwide audience with daily glimpses into the lives of
strangers in New York City.

Portrait 1
“What was the
happiest moment of your life?”
“When I got a stable job and bought my mother a
house. Things were quite bad, and so many times

works itself out, one way

anything. It helps.”
