Instagram Flipbook Shows There's No Filtering New York City

No one doubted New York City strap-hangers were a rare breed, but Rebecca Davis is proving it.

In a project she calls "New York Underground," Davis Instagrammed the most interesting, most mundane, most affectionate and most fascinating subway riders she witnessed over the course of a year. The narrative is gritty and intimate and shows real New Yorkers in their finest form.

Davis also created a Tumblr over the duration of the project so you can check out the shots individually.
