The Original
Brandon Stanton has taken more than 5,000 photographs as part of the “Humans of New York” movement. They have included children collecting bugs, playing guitar, and dressing up. They have included people in the East Village, in Central Park, and on the Upper West Side. His subjects have been tatooed and clear-skinned and lost and in love. They have been homeless and homeschooled. But nearly all of them have opened up to this stranger with a camera. What Stanton stumbled upon in his endeavor to capture the people of his hometown (and all the offshoots that sprang up in towns, cities, and countries along the way) was a universal need to share stories—and our universal desire to listen.
