Question

3．Here's how Brandon spends several hours each day：he walks up to strangers in New York City，asks for permission to take their pictures and then interviews them．
 With a combination of friendliness and good，but not excellent，photography skills，Stanton has achieved one of the most unlikely success stories in a city filled with them．The 29-year-old began posting photos and quotations on his Facebook page，Tumblr blog and personal website，humansofnewyork．com，three years ago，and has owned more than one million fans．
  Now，hundreds of those pictures and interviews have been collected into a book，Human of New York，which landed into No.1 spot on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction （精装非小说类）best-seller list after its first week on sale．
  Stanton，a hybrid（混合） of interviewer，photographer and eager chronicler（历史记录者），is a Georgia native with no training as a journalist．He has owned two cameras in his life and admits he has never learned the technically correct way to use them．When he started the project in 2010，he had just lost his job as a bond trader in Chicago and decided to shift to a completely new career．When he moved to New York，he was friendless and nearly broke．Much of his time was spent on ambitious project of photographing10，000 people and mapping their whereabouts as a sort of virtual map of New York．
Initially，people didn't pay any attention to him，which made him disappointed．But he went on and his project gradually attracted an audience，starting with mostly people in their 20s．He has transformed himself into a recognizable face with a high income．
 Yaniv Soha，Stanton's editor，said the young man has the rare gift of being able to connect with random people．"It's about the stories as much as it is about the photos，"Soha said．"It's really about his ability to relate to people and convey what makes them individual．"
