Humans Of New York (Are You Human?)


Brandon
The art of blogging is still evolving. As this medium taken the world by storm there is a time for when you have to go from just watching something evolve to thinking critically about how it informs our world. One blog that is worth looking at is humans of New York.

As our group tool on this challenge of blog review we found many interesting quartiles of this blog. Human of New York is the inspiration of Brandon Stanton when one day he decided to create a compilation of pictures of New Yorkers.

It emotionally connects people through images and short snippets of interviews. This type of emotional connection is uncommon today because of the fast paced world that we live in today.  This world has made people afraid of expressing what they feel, and fear judgment. This human connection that he creates in this blog is a way to relate other people’s experiences to our own.

This human connection is greatly lacking in the modern world and is a nice way for people to reflect on their own life. It does not mater were you come from as humans we all experience suffering and joy in the same way it is this that creates a connection between people and a reader with this blog.
