Product Information

And—again, as with Riis—this acquaintance is earned by way of more than pictures and homespun snippets: the pages of “You Have Seen Their Faces” are split almost evenly between text and image; Caldwell goes on at length, magisterial and morally devastated at turns, providing a real accounting of American exploitation, and of its casualties. People talk about abusive parents, exes, struggles to succeed, addiction and recovery, dramatic failures, and lifelong happiness. Based on the blog with more than four million loyal fans, a beautiful, heartfelt, funny, and inspiring collection of photographs and stories capturing the spirit of a city.

The most famous photograph from Brandon Stanton’s new book, “Humans of New York: Stories”—the one you have probably seen or read about or heard discussed—is of a boy in an open black bubble jacket. He came to understand that “race” does not fully explain “the breach between the world and me,” yet race exerts a crucial force, and young blacks like his son are vulnerable and endangered by “majoritarian bandits. Later in 2015, Stanton visited Pakistan and Iran for a traveling photography series during the month of August. By comparison, “Stories” betrays shallow notions of truth (achievable by dialogic cut-and-paste) and egalitarianism.It makes you think, though: every person in this book has a unique, multifaceted life story, and these people are only a tiny fraction of the world. Humans of New York' (2013) is unread; translucent dust jacket shows a couple of tiny tears and a small, unobtrusive piece of Scotch tape at base of spine. The book’s beginnings can be found online, where Stanton now has over 18 million followers on Facebook.

I’m still trying to figure out what that disgruntled couple in black-tie getup is doing standing in the middle of a lake. The relationship youth have with the internet is a reading culture that contributed to HONY’s success.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. In Humans of New York: Stories, Brandon presents portraits of a whole new group of humans, complete with stories that delve deeper and surprise with their greater candour. Stanton’s focus on the characters’ props also adds to the phototypes, as it makes the photos more real and unique to each individual. This might explain the vast expanse of interpretive space between the book’s images and text: Evans’s photos sit alone at the front of the book, unremarked upon, serving as a kind of tonal prelude, then cede the stage completely to Agee’s wild, modernistic jumble of verse, prose, and theatric convention. Brandon Stanton will take you on an extraordinary journey through the photos of the people living in New York.

illustrated paper covered boards, hardcover; 428 pages; black and white and color photographic illustrations; very good in a lightly edgeworn velum dust jacket. Storytelling,” in this parlance, is best employed in the service of illuminating business principles, or selling tickets to non-profit galas, or winning contests. Stanton was interviewed ahead of release by Bill Weir for an ABC News Nightline story titled "'Humans of New York': Photo Gone Viral".The resulting book, “You Have Seen Their Faces,” might be read as a direct ancestor to HONY: each of Bourke-White’s photographs is a melodrama in black and white, adorned with an illustrative caption. During this time, photographer Brandon Stanton stopped, photographed, and interviewed more than ten thousand strangers, eventually sharing their stories on his blog, Humans of New York. Another aspect that contributed to HONY’s success is the prominence of different applications such as Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, VSCO, and the list goes on. If you want to build a bridge, it’s going to take a long time and it might be hard because your employees might not be as interested in building the bridge as you are. Self-taught photographer Brandon Stanton created it back in 2010; essentially he walked around New York City stopping random people on the streets, taking their portraits, learning snippets of their stories, and captioning the pictures with their quotes.
