5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/03/2022Shows that people around the world have much in commonI bought this book, on sale, to give to my adult daughter next Christmas. Looking through it, I was impressed by the photos of people in their native environments -- homes, markets, restaurants, city streets -- and the accompanying, one-page stories of the people depicted. What struck me most is how the book demonstrates that humans everywhere are alike in so many ways -- but also that every human is unique. The stories focus on human interactions, including ways people make a difference in one another's lives. I'm glad it didn't come wrapped in plastic, as I probably wouldn't have opened it, but instead wrapped it in holiday paper, plastic and all.Beverly

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/13/2021While Stanton's earlier work…While Stanton's earlier work featured portrait photographs specifically in New York, his latest takes him around the globe with people's photographs and stories from Iran, Ghana, Italy, France, and more (and yes, in New York too). Each photograph has its subject clear with the background blurred, sometimes of a person or two seated in a park, or standing on the sidewalk, and other times it focuses on just part of the figure with the face cut off, hands clasped or holding a cigarette, or a phone held out showing an older photograph. Beside each are the person's story, whether that be struggles or heartache, a love story, or in some cases just one line of text. Those familiar with Stanton's work on social media will find the form familiar and still appreciate this collection, some of which has been posted and others that I don't remember seeing at all. It's heartbreaking and joyful and all the emotions in between. In his introduction, Stanton reflects that a collection like this can't really capture the whole of human existence, but wow, what he does include is really striking, and left me thankful for the life I have. Some photos were so striking, I just had to look at the person for a bit before reading their story. In between sections, Stanton writes a few thoughts on "struggle" or "connection" and how his process of finding a photo subject and talking with them works. Highly recommended.bell7
