So, so lovely. Probably one of the best pieces of "loot" I found during our office move. (

Who doesn't love Humans of New York? I know there is a new book coming out this month but I went to the store and picked up the first one. (

I love the HONY facebook page and while I enjoyed the book it could have been better. The detailed narratives accompanying the website photos are too few in the book. Without them its just not as good as it could be. (

This was absolutely amazing! Filled with beautiful pictures and small quotes! I figured I would fly through this one, but it turned out to be way more interesting than I thought. The pictures were captivating, the stories filled my heart with both joy and sorrow and so much love. I highly recommend this treasure! (

Quotations

Excuse me. Is there any way I can take your photo? I run a blog called Humsns of New York, andI’m trying to document all the neighborhoods of New York by photographing the people who live there.

I didn’t hear a word you just said.
