Humans Of New York

Brandon Stanton lives in New York City. He wants to photograph everyone in the city.
His project 'Humans of New York' began as one man's effort to construct a photographic census of the city of New York. Over three thousand street portraits have been gathered toward this purpose. As they are collected, the portraits are plotted on an interactive map of the city.

Though hundreds of portraits have been gathered from all five boroughs, only Manhattan is currently viewable. Every day new photos are added of people from every neighborhood. Taken together, these portraits cover the entire spectrum of New York's population.
