Brandon Stanton, bestselling author and creator of the blog Humans of New York (HONY), is spending the week in Austin for SXSW. Every day, millions of people follow his portraits and stories from the streets of New York. As part of a special "on the road" edition of HONY, he will be gathering these stories in Austin and sharing them in his photo set on Flickr, and this is the second "Humans of Austin" gallery.
