By now I am sure most people - especially if you have a Facebook account - have encountered one or two of the posts from the page
Humans of New York. My first exposure to it was through friends either liking or sharing the wonderful portraits and stories shared by the pages creator, Brandon. Eventually I decided to follow the page myself, because it is one of the few pages whose posts I am always interested in and don't just scroll past. (Sorry to all the other pages I follow..)
I only discovered him a few months ago, but Brandon has been photographing the people of New York since 2010. He is very talented, and the stories and interviews that he shares along with the portraits are fascinating and often quite profound.
One week ago, Brandon photographed a boy named Vidal.
It's weird that you bring the whole "social media" thing up because that's all I seem to be hearing about the past few weeks. Everywhere I go that topic seems to come up! Odd...but I like it. Lol!
ReplyDeleteMy older brother borrowed the Humans of New York book from our library, and I think it's really cool too! Also, did you see the Humans of JJC club at Mainstreet today? I really want to join it, even though I probably don't have enough time to make it a good idea.
ReplyDeleteHONY rocks. God bless brandon and all the people he's involved with and helped.
