Brandon Stanton is back with the follow up to Humans of New York that his loyal followers have been waiting for: Humans of New York: Stories. Ever since Brandon began interviewing people on the streets of New York, the dialogue he's had with them has increasingly become as in-depth, intriguing and moving as the photos themselves. Humans of New York: Stories presents a whole new group of humans, complete with stories that delve deeper and surprise with greater candour.

Back in the summer of 2010, photographer Brandon Stanton began an ambitious project – to single-handedly create a photographic census of New York City. The photos he took and the accompanying interviews became the blog Humans of New York. In the first three years, his audience steadily grew from a few hundred to over one million. In 2013, his book Humans of New York, based on that blog, was published and immediately catapulted to the top of the NY Times Bestseller List where it stayed for many weeks. The appeal of the Humans of New York blog has been so great that in the course of the next year Brandon's following increased tenfold to over 12 million followers on Facebook and is still growing.

With his second inspiring look at the residents of New York, let Brandon Stanton and the people he's photographed astonish you.

Product description

Review

An instant publishing phenomenon ― The New York Times

The photographs in this volume, some of which have never been published before, capture the city's inhabitants with a commendable eye for demographic diversity and everyday street fashion. But it's Stanton's interviews with his subjects, usually excerpted from their rawest moments, that are the most captivating as they highlight both the hardship and the little victories of an often-unforgiving city. ― The Atlantic

The images are gorgeous, and the effect is like walking through a version of our city where startlingly honest thought bubbles appear over everyone's head. ― The New York Magazine

... book to have on the living room table for bored times browsing

1 August 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

At first you think this is a book to have on the living room table for bored times browsing. Then you start reading it and you realise individuals talk to you from its pages and tell you their most authentic stories. I was captivated by the number of persons I have listened to in the last 2 days and 428 pages. It should be a page like this for every person on Earth so that you can listen to him or her....so that they feel heard. So many realities described, shuttered dreams and hopes. Some joyful moments too but mainly struggle. But that’s making life what it is. The question you remain with is: who are you? This book reminds you that you are human, that other human there are fighting daily just like you, that some of us are being spoiled by life while others did not get this chance. And I know it but is still good to have it reminded in such a peaceful way.

The HONY you've come to know and love!

13 October 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

~~~~~~~~~It appears Amazon posted my review under both books Humans of New York and HONY Stories. The review below is intended to be for Stories ONLY~~~~~~~~~~~

While Brandon's first release was an excellent book of photography, it lacked many of the stories behind the individuals. I came to find HONY on facebook and feel the story behind the photo is half the experience. With his newest release, it all comes together to give you the full HONY package that most people have come to know and love. This book is a bargain for all the passion and work that Brandon puts into this project.

If you are deciding on whether or not to buy the book, consider the following, which Brandon posted on the HONY facebook page: "I want to take a quick opportunity to remind everyone that HONY is advertisement free and almost entirely financed by book sales. (The only exception being income from a handful of speeches I give every year.) Proceeds from books have been used to pay for trips to twenty different countries over the past year alone. Even when working with large organizations like the United Nations or UNHCR, I’m always very careful to cover all costs and reimburse any expenses. I do this so that the content on HONY can remain entirely independent, self-directed, and transparent. By purchasing a book, you can help HONY continue to grow in a way that remains focused on telling people’s stories--- and nothing else. Thanks to everyone for your continued support."

Connect with real people. Get out of your box and learn about people different from you. Get to know their story. Support the project. Buy the book!

Brandon Stanton is changing the world!

14 October 2015 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I have waited so patiently for this book, and the day finally arrived! As much as I love Brandon Stanton's other books, Humans of New York and Little Humans, this is the one that most closely represents the posts I look forward to reading every day on the Internet. In fact, I left Facebook years ago, and HONY is the only reason I remain on Instagram. It has become my morning paper.

The photos were only one piece. Reading stories of random people (and I'll always wonder how Brandon chooses who to interview) has changed me. I now assume that everyone has a story because, chances are, they do. We need to treat everyone we meet with the same compassion because we are completely unaware of their feelings, sense of self worth, past or current life struggles and emotional hardships. We don't know how hard they've worked to either get where they are or to build their dreams just to have them shattered by circumstance.

I sincerely hope that Brandon releases a book in the future based on his travels across the globe. My daughter wants to join me for field work to aid Syrian refugees (I'm in a graduate program in global health) because of the stories Brandon Stanton helped to share. He is truly changing the world, not simply by raising millions of dollars for causes we all believe in, but by changing the perspectives of our youth. This is a big deal, and purchasing this book is a wonderful way for you to be a part of this slow transformation of humankind. I cannot recommend this enough. 10 stars!

My Strongest Recommendation

31 March 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

I discovered “Humans of New York” after seeing a NY Times article about Brandon Stanton. After looking at the Humans of New York website and twitter feed I was hooked and just had to get the book. I almost always buy kindle books (shelf space/reading in bed) but knew this was a rare treasure that I would want preserved forever in hardback. I was right.

No bones about it- I adore this book. The extensive “Look Inside” feature (which for some reason is showing up on the hardcover edition but not the kindle?) and description cover what you can expect from the book so I won’t describe it here. I imagine that some people may wonder “So- pictures and quotes from the subjects, nothing else? What’s the big deal?” That IS the big deal- no comment, no judgement just the humans of New York revealed in stunning photos and their own words.

And the photographs ARE stunning. Brandon Stanton is first and foremost a photographer. The photos in this book are absolutely amazing. From the heartbreaking, desolate “I don’t want to live anymore.” to the joyous, riotous colors of “We’re the Eco Adventure Club!” each photo is a gorgeous testament to Stanton’s artistry. And whether combined with a few words or a few paragraphs, you feel that you have met and learned at least a small amount about each person.

I bought this thinking that it was something I could read a few pages at a time here and there. And you could do that- except it’s addictive. Reading the book straight through is an experience not to be missed. All the clichés are true- there is a never-ending diversity in humans and their experiences but we are really all the same.

There are books that I love and recommend to readers of their genre. But “Humans of New York” transcends genre and is a book every human can enjoy. Whether you are a complete misogynist or a great humanitarian, at minimum the book will fascinate but more likely you will find it as amazing as I do.
