Humans Of New York (a post by @FredWilson)

"I have a new favorite blog and I thought I'd share it with all of you. I found it via the Gotham Gal's blog (which in and of itself is kind of embarassing. We sleep together and I found this via her blog). It's called Humans Of New York . I follow it on Tumblr. Every day I get two to five posts. Each post is a picture of a new yorker or two. And something that was said by the subject of the photo. It's like riding the subway, but even better. You get to see all kinds of people and learn a little bit about them. Sometimes it is sad . Sometimes it is funny . Sometimes it is upsetting . Sometimes it makes you smile . But rarely does Humans Of New York fail to make me feel something. And that is great art at work. And that is Tumblr at work. Tumblr is great art and so is Humans Of New York. I love both of them." Content from Fred Wilson's blog, avc.com, used under Creative Commons License.
