Humans of New York

“A few weeks ago I was sitting in the Saratoga library doing some sketches, and one of the librarians started looking over my shoulder. Then suddenly she asked if she could show the sketches to one of her colleagues. Next thing I know—they are asking me to do a series of Halloween sketches to hang in the library. It wasn’t my first time in the limelight. I’d read some poetry before on a public access television show in Queens. But seeing my art publicly displayed like that was extraordinary. I felt super. I felt great. I still feel great!” A photo posted by Humans of New York (@humansofny) on


Brandon Stanton has created an internationally known Instagram account called Humans of New York, or HONY. The idea is simple: he photographs random people around the city, and they tell their story, unfiltered. Maybe take a read through the kinds of things posted to see if it’s age appropriate for your child, but if you want your kid to have an idea that people come from a wide range of experiences, follow HONY.
