The Urban Lens: Hannah La Follette Ryan on her viral Instagram account ‘Subway Hands’
While many street photographers have been inspired by straphangers over the years, Massachusetts- born Hannah La Follette Ryan has taken a very different approach to subway photography: focusing on riders' hands. Her viral Instagram account, "Subway Hands," is closing in on 20,000 followers and features nearly 1,000 photos, all shot on her iPhone, of the impossibly varied things people do with their hands on the NYC subway.
