humans of New York

this Facebook page contains many pictures of humans living in NYC. the photographer did interview before they took pictures of people. they may encounter rejection but chances are there that people are open-minded and share their stories with you. simple technique such as focus is used. captions are well written as inspiring quotes from the passer-by.

humans of Brighton is my idea now.
