New York Times: 1-in-8 Million

1-in-8 Million is a look into the lives of 54 not-so-ordinary New Yorkers, telling their own stories. It is an opportunity to go far outside of the conventional classroom without moving from one’s desk, an opportunity to hear, feel, touch, almost smell the people of New York. I found it to be a trip not just to New York—and I’ve traveled there many times—but a trip inside this city. I’d never seen it like this.
