The true face of New York City!
Humans of New York resulted from an inspired idea: to construct a photographic census of New York City. It’s an ambitious project undertaken by photographer Brandon, who has taken photos of over 10,000 New-Yorkers and mapped the city a portrait of each person and a quote from them. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this vibrant blog boasts a rapidly growing following – currently standing at over 300,000!
Welcome to the Weird, Wonderful City
Humans of New York is one of those few blogs that actually does its subject justice. And what a subject it is… The Big Apple, so diverse, and filled with so many weird and wonderful people who just don’t fit in anywhere else; people for whom the City is their Utopia.
And that’s exactly what Humans of New York successfully tries to convey: A vast melting pot where every human plays their own unique role. I love how it never hides; every blemish is bared. It’s this that makes Humans of New York such an emotional, inspiring and exhilarating story.
Bottom Line on the Humans of New York:
Humans of New York is one of the most awesome blogs I’ve seen in a while (and working for All My Faves, I see tons of blogs every week…). It will take you on a journey into the true heart of the complex multicultural metropolitan that is NYC. I’ve not been in the City for 15 years (far too long 🙁 …), but I feel a little bit closer by following this blog. So get ready for an amazing journey and visit Humans of New York.
