Humans Of New York

Brandon Stanton takes beautiful pictures of the people of New York City. His story is interesting, also.

In his senior year studying history at the University of Georgia, he took out $3000 in student loans and bet on Barack Obama to win the Presidency. Based on this a friend got him a job trading bonds on the Chicago Board of Trade. For three years he did really well. Then it went really bad and he lost his job.

And he moved to New York City. And started a photo blog, Humans of New York. I'll let him tell the rest of the story.



Thanks to Lloyd Kahn and Kevin Kelly for this.
