because it brings _______ .
interesting to write about for your English
project? Well, Ive done some research
about him for you! Heres what I found
out:
For Brandon Stanton photography was
just a hobby. That changed in 2010 when
he lost his job in finance. It was then that
he decided to go professional. He went on
a tour of America and took photos of city
scenes and people. He visited New York in
2010 and found the city streets perfect for
his art and decided to stay. He asked
permission to take photos of people and
chatted to them, finding out about their
lives. He posted them on a Facebook
page and a blog. Under each photo is a
sentence or a quotation, or sometimes a
story, that tells something about the lives
and experiences of his subjects. Some are
funny, some are sad and some are just
incredible.
Stantons published a book based on the
blog, which reached number 1 in the The
New York Times Best Sellers list in 2013.
I think Brandons blog really brings people
together! When youve looked at the blog,
tell me what you think.
Speak soon,
Caitlin xxx
