A massive city like New York -- or the smaller city or town where you live -- can sometimes feel cold and impersonal. So many people; and yet, so surprisingly anonymous. We see the faces of others, but we do not know their stories -- or even think about what those stories might be. Photographer Brandon Stanton moved to New York in 2010, determined to pursue his passion for photography after losing his job as a bond trader. He took thousands of street portraits, many of them excellent; but it was only after beginning to speak with the people he photographed and starting to learn small pieces of their stories that his project came together in a meaningful, resonant way. Thus, "Humans of New York" -- a hugely popular Facebook page -- was born.
