Does anyone follow him on facebook or read his book? Well yesterday he had a heartwarming story about a man who sold teddy bears on the street but was arrested for doing so because it's illegal. Now he has a used book cart but explained that his back story was that he used to play the bagpipes until they were stolen. The comments under his picture were so overwhelming that a fundraising page was set up by a reader to buy him a new set of bagpipes, it was shut off once his goal was met in one day. I didn't donate, but the organizer appears to be open and transparent, and this is not the first time this sort of thing has happened with HONY. So it's just a nice feel good story of people wanting to help someone with a random act of kindness.

I follow him on twitter. I think his project is awesome! One of my favorites was from the other day. It was a picture if a woman, and her quote was something like, "I'd push a kid out of the way to get my picture taken with Disney character". I love how honest people are when they talk to him.

I follow HONY on Facebook. I also bought Brandon's book. It is amazing how a photo and a statement make you think about life.

I have been following him for a while. I love his posts, so positive and the comments are mostly pretty cool too. I like to try to figure out where the pics were taken.

I've been following him for several years. His posts always warm my heart. And the kindness and generosity that spurs from his photos is amazing. I bought his book when it came out, and gave a copy to my son (lives in NYC). Both of us love it
