For a couple of months now, I have been following Humans of New York (HONY) on Facebook and Tumblr. It is a brillant idea that shows you all of the interesting characters of New York City.
Meet Brandon Stanton, a New Yorker that had an idea in 2010 to collect the ultimate portfolio. He wanted to collect 10,000 pictures of different New Yorkers and collect their stories. That plan now has turned into the mecca that is HONY. With nearly 1 million followers combined, HONY has become extremely popular and has just released a book that hit the Number 1 spot on The New York Times Best Seller List.
HONY shows how everyone has a backstory. It may be a sad or inspirational story but everyone has one. Brandon is able to capture the beauty of the people around him and here are some of my favorite pictures that he has taken.
You can check out the book on
