Man this dude is charismatic! No wonder he gets people to answer his questions

Did anyone else notice, around 12:00 when he started talking about how he takes a broad comment and sort of narrows it down... that the room full of a few hundred students suddenly became a VERY intimate circle of humans? That's some powerful mojo Brandon's got.

I understand that some people do not like Humans of New York but think about it, he's letting people know that their story matters and some people love to share their story and everyone loves to feel like someone cares. Not to mention that even it's shared on Facebook thousands if not millions if people can also show that they care :)

The vibes you give off are much stronger than the words that come out of your mouth. Energy is everything.

There are some people who are self made famous for no reason, and this guy is self famous for great reasons.

The interviewer didn't seem very amused that Brandon handled the interview himself :)

Really appreciate what he said about going from a general statement to finding a story that's different from everyone else's. Stories - from personal struggles to family issues to simple joys of life - are what makes HONY so fascinating.

Great talk, great tips, great human being. I think I just fell in love with Brandon Stanton. #HumansofNewYork

I hope I get to meet this guy someday He seems so genuine and kind what a solid dude!

His authentic interest in all people has served him well in this project. I hope it inspires his followers to be more open to chatting to strangers when standing in line or on public transportation because those informal connections make the world a better place.

Keep in mind these are Irish people, they have a lot of awkwardness when it comes to intimacy / hugging. Its a cultural thing. Self loathing Irish Catholics that think life is about suffering for God. Go listen to Bill Burr talk about doing stand up in Ireland and how the audience mocked him from not having emotional support/affection as a kid... That sums it up entirely. I thought this was my unique perspective / perception (being American who was raise Catholic and have a lot of Irish roots in my family). That was until I heard the Bill Burr bit recently.

As someone who's told he looks like Owen Wilson periodically, Brandon takes it to an uncanny level by sounding exactly like him.

I love coming back to this video, it's always really lovely to see the warmth and intimacy that the whole auditorium generates as time goes by.

LOOL I love the girl Ellen she's so cute!! xD

SO happy this was posted. I've been wildly curious as to how you do this! Thank you for sharing!

I appreciated the video but thought you missed an opportunity with Ellen. Clearly, she had an immediate strong connection with this new 'best friend' who was off to Holland. What was it? People study romantic relationships, but friendship is also crucial and sometimes longer lasting. How do deep friendships form & last? In any case, I love HoNY. As a 5th generation NYer, who shifted north to Boston, I love how it allows me to visit home. Thanks

This video...Watched it in 2013 or 2014 ann I'm watching it now again. I don't know but something about it. There's just something about HONY and approaching and photographing strangers that has always been in my mind.

"since Christmas" omfgg lmaoo

Great speaker. Definitely is confident and it shows.

Brandon's got really big hands. He could reach two octaves on a keyboard.

I started out lying to people (I know..its wrong but I was nervous) I'd say "excuse me, I'm a student at the art school and I'm doing a project on everyday people. The way you're dressed..(or the way you're sitting..or the way you look against this wall, etc.) looks so cool! Can I make a picture of you?" Most would say yes then I'd say ok, just pretend I'm not here. I'd pop off 2-4 shots shake their hand and say thank you with sincerity and move along. done! If you compliment them and smile while you're talking to them, it works 85-95% of the time.

man this guy can talk!

I found this very interesting as a young amateur street magician who has to subject himself to rejection from strangers all the time. From what little comparative experience I've had it seems that he hit the nail on the head when he said "the words that I'm saying don't matter, it's all about the energy." I think this applies to life in general, whether it be complete strangers or your closest friend. People usually rely on the subconscious signals they get from you, and whether you convey confidence and love, or nervousness and shyness, is completely your choice.

That was great and really interesting. Thanks for sharing, Brandon, and UCD :D

LOVE THIS GUY !!

I LOVE his facebook page .. what an amazing Man !

This is absolute gold.

Wow this guy is amazing. I mean he is so inspiring and so playful. Just love his work :)

his energy is soooo perfect yessssssssssss

this is gold, I am always get hung up on not saying the 'right' thing, and I realize it is your state of mind/energy, whether you are nervous. I have a stray cat that comes around, she used to be very afraid of me, and when I would approach to feed the cat I would try to just approach at a regular pace. Now I will just extend the back of my hand and let her smell me first, so can take a pulse of my energy or state of mind, She rarely gets afraid of me anymore, unless I make a sudden move.

more than a human approch : a humanistic approch. This guy is great

This guy is a legend. Great work.

He seems like the most down to earth person ever, great video. I actually made my own Humans of New York type facebook page including students/staff from my school!

oh man, this is what I was looking for! thank you! and this guy is hilarious and genius!! :D

I'd be interested how it's been developing from the beginning, how it was when he was not so well known - how much the being publicly recognised figure/project influences the process of approaching and interviewing.

My creative writing teacher showed us the Humans of New York and having us o something like what Brandon Stanton does. This must be the best project I've ever done.

Thanks for sharing. I love this! You should be given so much credit for your creativity. Really wish I can meet you personally one day. - Cheers from Morocco!

sorry im a little late on this but if it's short answers he just remembers it in his head and probably writes it down after the interview but during some interviews, as you've probably seen on the page, people respond with paragraphs as answers and in those cases he pulls out his phone and writes them as they speak, i've seen him do it a few times in videos. :)

Funny enough that is exactly the process I would do with people when I would work as a street salesman. Except more people will say yes to him as well as he said earlier, he's not after their credit card or money.

Dude, I absolutely loved the video. I would like to know how you do everything that you do to make your dream a success. I want to know the legalities of it all dealing with different age groups, especially those who aren't 18 years old. Thank you for showing me that this is possible.
