    In 2005,

    Scott Schuman began blogging. His site,

    The Sartorialist, is proof-positive that pictures tell the story: a snapshot of someone in all their glory, a triumph of their personal style. His blog is now a

    book, he tells us all about it.

    Schuman traces the blog's development from its beginning as a hobby, his aim to capture the city as well as the individual in each photograph; the distinction between "stylish" and "fashionable," how his selfish photographic motives ultimately benefit the subject, and that his success isn't due to his knowledge of fashion, but because he is a regular guy from the midwest.
