a blog about a blog.

a couple of years ago I went to seminar presented by Alan Moyle.  Apart from inspiring a blog last year ‘a week in the life of a FIFO worker’ he mentioned Humans of New York; I’ve been following it ever since.

Reposted from The Guardian

Recently a photograph was posted on the Humans of New York website and on social media. It was a portrait of a troubled-looking young boy sitting on some steps, accompanied, as is the format with Humans of New York, by a quotation from the unidentified subject: “I’m homosexual and I’m afraid about what my future will be and that people won’t like me.”

They’re not always quite so heartbreaking, but Humans of New York photographs regularly generate thousands of retweets, hundreds of thousands of Facebook likes and lots of appreciative comments. This one prompted a response from none other than Hillary Clinton. “Prediction from a grown-up: Your future is going to be amazing,” she wrote on Facebook. “You will surprise yourself with what you’re capable of and the incredible things you go on to do. Find the people who love and believe in you – there will be lots of them. —H.”

Regardless of what you may think of H Clinton, this blog is about Humans of New York bog.  Is it worth following?  Check it out and decide for yourself.
