"I ended up reading Stories cover-to-cover in one sitting. The powerful storytelling Stanton does on his blog translates seamlessly into book form." --Elise De Los Santos, Chicago Tribune "As the quotes grew longer, and the interviews deeper, Stanton developed a signature storytelling style--one that blends the lure of urban voyeurism with an eye for the extraordinary detail in seemingly ordinary subjects.

All are taken on the spot of first contact." -- The Economist "A wondrous mix of races, ages, genders, and social classes, and on virtually every page is a surprise." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Some street photographers hide behind phone booths like paparazzi so their subject won't be aware of their presence, but for Stanton it's precisely that awkward interaction, the tearing down of the wall between strangers, that he covets." -- The Huffington Post "There's no judgment, just observation and in many cases reverence, making for an inspiring reading and visual experience.
