Humans of New York: Stories: Millions of social media users got introduced to Humans of New York thanks to Brandon Stanton, a photographer whose simple portraits of people on the streets of the Big Apple were accompanied by touching anecdotes and quotes provided by the subjects. The popularity of his blog and social-media channels grew so large that he was able to turn his collection of photos and stories into this really inspiring book, one which encourages us to see the humanity in strangers.
