1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short not to enjoy it.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay...

Less than 3 months until the HONY book drops on October 15th, and my publisher has been lovingly prodding me to remind you guys of this fact. It’s got 300 of my favorite photos and captions (out of 5,000), as well as 80 new, exclusive photos. The design went through several drafts and came out super polished. And everyone who’s seen it, including me, thinks it looks amazing. The book also just got this review from Publisher’s Weekly. It was a “starred" review, which I’m told is a good thing: "Many photo essays of this type have a singular topic in mind, such as highlighting urban blight or homelessness. [Humans of New York] doesn’t shy away from those topics, but it doesn’t dwell either. There’s no judgment, just observation and in many cases reverence, making for an inspiring reading and visual experience." You can preorder now online: AMAZON: http://amzn.to/10sbtW5 BARNES AND NOBLE: http://bit.ly/12TOd56 INDIEBOUND: http://bit.ly/191EZLF And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I'm just going to go ahead and assume this is what the line up actually is so I stop sad-sighing every time someone mentions Coachella.

MMMPH. GGGHHHHHKKK! HNNNNNNNNMMMG. 

… WHAT ARE ALL THOSE TERRIBLE NOISES?

THE ONES YOU’RE MAKING? I DON’T KNOW.

NO, THE STABBY BAD ONES.

THEY’RE BIRDS. CHIRPING.

I HATE THEM. WHAT IS THAT HORRIBLE GLOW?

THE SUN. IT’S NOON.

CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT IT OFF? IT’S ATROCIOUS AND INVASIVE.

IT’S BENEVOLENT AND NECESSARY FOR LIFE.

CAN YOU AT LEAST SHUT OFF THE DIRBS?

BIRDS, AND NO. I HOPE THIS TEACHES YOU A VALUABLE LESSON ABOUT BUYING WINE AT 7-11.

I AM SO FULL OF REGRETS. I AM SORRY FOR ALL THE THINGS.
