About the project
With more than six thousand loyal fans, the Humans of Nelson is a beautiful, touching, funny, and inspiring collection of photographs and stories celebrating our individuality and capturing the spirit of Nelson, British Columbia.
Photographer Ryan Oakley takes to the streets of Nelson, asking strangers if he can take their picture. Sometimes a bit of their conversation ends up as a caption to the photo.
This is a spin-off of the popular Humans of New York.
Enjoy!

"What's something that he had right and you had wrong?"
"I was an idealist. But he had ridden the rails when he was 14. When he would tell me things, I wouldn't listen. I would tell him the world's not that way anymore. And he'd just say, 'It's still the same. People are people.'"
