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!

We had no closeness; no attempt was made to try to understanding each other. And I can never remember him saying 'I love you'. We stopped talking for 45 years. I lived my life and he lived his. Time passed. He got old. He got sick. I decided to love him anyways and I took care of him in his final years. In the end he loved me - and told me so. I'm glad I didn't wait for him to come to me."
