"Humans of New York" by Brandon Stanton: A Book Review Prem Rao : Stories from a Story Teller
-
- Books
A fascinating publication that captures the looks and thoughts of people at large in the The Big Apple, that ever bustling epitome of cosmopolitan urban life: New York City. Brandon Stanton's amazing creation resides at the intersection of writing and photography. For the reader, this makes for very interesting reading apart from viewing the extremely engaging images of people who make up slices of life in New York City.
The initial project, says Stanton, was to photograph 10,000 New Yorkers on the streets and get a fleeting quote from them. This grew in scope as he found people willing to talk about their lives in the city with candor.
Considering the content, I feel, the "Humans Of New York " book/photoblog is a must for every book collector. It would be a welcome addition to libraries the world over.
