Humans of New York

This is just one image from hundreds if not thousands of images that Brandon Stanton has taken as part of his Humans of New York Project.  Everyday he goes out to find interesting people in New York who he photographs.  Then he puts these up on the internet (via Facebook, Tumblr, and his own page).  He has created an incredible following which is currently at over 500 thousand on Facebook.  In his photographs, Stanton captures the many layers of New York City.

I like this particular photograph because it is represents how our idea of normalcy can shift.  A man with a baby strapped to his front reading a book while waiting for a subway isn't what most people think of when they think "new father," but by his casual pose it looks like he does this everyday.
