''Humans of New York'' (HONY) is a blog and bestselling book featuring street portraits and interviews collected on the streets of New York City. Started in November 2010 by photographer Brandon Stanton, Humans of New York has developed a large following through social media. The blog has over 16 million followers on Facebook 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork?_rdr=p )〕 and around 3.9 million followers on Instagram as of November 2015. As of February 1st, 2015, the Humans of New York book had spent 29 weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers list. Inspired by Humans of New York, hundreds of ‘Humans of’ blogs have developed around the world. Recently Stanton has collected portraits in nearly twenty different countries, including Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan. In January 2015, he interviewed President Barack Obama in the Oval Office. In August 2015, Stanton took his photo blog to Pakistan and Iran to capture the stories of the people living there. Stanton once again took to the photo blog abroad, in September 2015, travelling to Europe to cover and share the stories of refugees fleeing war in parts of the Middle East. The travels to Europe covering the refugee crisis was in partnership with the United Nations UNHCR〔 in efforts to get his viewers and the world to engage in an emotional experience, hoping these stories would resonate with them more so than simply reading the atrocious statistics. ==History== Brandon Stanton started his blog in November 2010. Initially, he planned to gather 10,000 portraits of New Yorkers and plot them on a map of the city. The project soon evolved, however, when Stanton started having conversations with his subjects and including small quotes and stories alongside his photographs. With this new format, the blog began to grow rapidly. In a matter of months, HONY became so popular that when Stanton accidentally updated his Facebook status by tapping his phone's Q key, his post garnered 73 likes within a minute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/how-humans-of-new-york-got-nearly-1-million-facebook-likes.html )〕 As of September 2015, Humans of New York has nearly fifteen million likes on its Facebook page.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork )〕 He also has over three hundred thousand followers on Twitter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humans of New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
