 Another October Surprise! I walked to Grand Central Station yesterday to see this unique exhibition of photos of New Yorkers, by New Yorkers, including 600 students. It is a delight for the eyes. The 750,000 people that travel through Grand Central each day have a wonderful opportunity to stop, look and read about some of their neighbors. Humans of New York (HONY- ) is a photoblog and book of street portraits and interviews collected on the streets of NYC by photographer Brandon Stanton. For the next two weeks Grand Central Station will undergo the biggest transformation in its 112-year history, as it becomes a living, breathing celebration of the people of New York. All advertising has been removed from the building and replaced with portraits and stories from Humans of New York. There is also continuous music from the students at Julliard. When I was passing through I heard a wonderful pianist. Stop and smell the roses, as they say. You can follow him on Instagram at humansofny. This exhibition will only be on view until October 19, 2025.
