Some street photographers hide behind phone booths like paparazzi so their subject won't be aware of their presence, but for Stanton it's precisely that awkward interaction, the tearing down of the wall between strangers, that he covets., "As the quotes grew longer, and the interviews deeper, Stanton developed a signature storytelling style--one that blends the lure of urban voyeurism with an eye for the extraordinary detail in seemingly ordinary subjects. What makes these photographs compelling is their sincerity, their air of authenticity. All are taken on the spot of first contact." -- The Economist "A wondrous mix of races, ages, genders, and social classes, and on virtually every page is a surprise." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Some street photographers hide behind phone booths like paparazzi so their subject won't be aware of their presence, but for Stanton it's precisely that awkward interaction, the tearing down of the wall between strangers, that he covets." -- The Huffington Post "There's no judgment, just observation and in many cases reverence, making for an inspiring reading and visual experience." -- Publisher's Weekly, "An instant publishing phenomenon." - The New York Times "The photographs in this volume, some of which have never been published before, capture the city's inhabitants with a commendable eye for demographic diversity and everyday street fashion. But it's Stanton's interviews with his subjects, usually excerpted from their rawest moments, that are the most captivating as they highlight both the hardship and the little victories of an often-unforgiving city." - The Atlantic "The images are gorgeous, and the effect is like walking through a version of our city where startlingly honest thought bubbles appear over everyone's heads." - New York Magazine, There's no judgment, just observation and in many cases reverence, making for an inspiring reading and visual experience., "As the quotes grew longer, and the interviews deeper, Stanton developed a signature storytelling style--one that blends the lure of urban voyeurism with an eye for the extraordinary detail in seemingly ordinary subjects. What makes these photographs compelling is their sincerity, their air of authenticity. All are taken on the spot of first contact. Some people are caught mid-sentence. Even those who pose are free of the sterile stiffness of staged portraits." -- The Economist "A wondrous mix of races, ages, genders, and social classes, and on virtually every page is a surprise." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Some street photographers hide behind phone booths like paparazzi so their subject won't be aware of their presence, but for Stanton it's precisely that awkward interaction, the tearing down of the wall between strangers, that he covets." -- The Huffington Post "There's no judgment, just observation and in many cases reverence, making for an inspiring reading and visual experience." -- Publisher's Weekly, "I ended up reading Stories cover-to-cover in one sitting. The powerful storytelling Stanton does on his blog translates seamlessly into book form." --Elise De Los Santos, Chicago Tribune "As the quotes grew longer, and the interviews deeper, Stanton developed a signature storytelling style--one that blends the lure of urban voyeurism with an eye for the extraordinary detail in seemingly ordinary subjects. What makes these photographs compelling is their sincerity, their air of authenticity.

The ordering process was easy and fast and the price was good. I did not have to wait long for delivery; the book was well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. It was listed on the website as "very good" but it actually looked brand new. All in all, very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely use ebay again.

  • Just So-So

    It seems like 70% of the people are trying very hard to be witty or deep and it doesn't seem to be very heartfelt. The other 30% are very good. They either are funny or actually are speaking from the heart (like eating disorder girl). I was disappointed.

  • 👍🏾 the book 👎🏾 the condition of the book

    Love the book. The stories of each person no matter how small is intriguing. However, the wax translucent cover was in horrible condition. Almost as if it had major water damage.

  • Beautiful book

    Beautiful book. Compelling stories. Provides human connections. Photos capture personalities. Illustrates that we are more alike than different. Makes you think about what you would say if interviewed by the photographer.
