DEVA Loves… Humans of New York (HONY)

Brandon Stanton, a 28 year old Atlanta native started the blog “Humans of New York” in 2010 after losing his job as a bond trader in Chicago, and moving to New York with little idea of what he was going to do - only sure of the fact that he liked taking photos.

Every day, he walks the streets of New York taking photographs of strangers and the things that people walk by, but don’t notice. His photographs are interesting and unique because of the relationship he has with their subjects. He makes a connection with each of the fantastic characters by asking them personal questions, that no one before may have taken the time to ask. He pairs their responses with their photo, creating a portrait with images AND words.

Today, with nearly one million followers, HONY now provides a worldwide audience with glimpses into the lives of strangers in New York City.

In his own words, “I photograph everything that makes me happy…and it turns out it makes other people happy too”.

At DEVA we agree! Have you got the Monday blues??? – Say no more. If Brandon and his blog don’t put a smile on your face or make you laugh out loud, we don’t know what will!

Happy Monday!
