The Facebook group was set up in March by five students based at Wadham College.
A group of five students from Oxford university have come together to create a Humans of Oxford Facebook page, dedicated to photographing people around the city and asking them to say something about various topics.
Martin Woolley (pictured) was asked how he maintains his enthusiasm. He said: "It's the f*cking sugar. We inhale it. Plus it helps that we're all crazy in here. It's like a zoo."

The twenty-something students all read at Wadham College and are either finalists or graduate next year. They were inspired by the original Humans of New York photoblog and launched their version in March.
The man above told Humans of Oxford: "I used to be a professional footballer but I lost my contract when I was 18 because of a leg injury. I was told I would never be able to play football again. I stumbled upon this when I was at the job centre. I've been doing it for 2 years and never looked back."

We went into it not really knowing what to expect and it became a lot more popular a lot quicker than we thought. It's funny how some photos get so much popularity and it's really interesting to see which will become so popular.
Wright said that at least two images had been particularly successful. The first, posted on 21 May, was of a shopkeeper who previously lived in Afghanistan.
The man above said: "I was born and raised in Afghanistan but had to move to India because of the war. Then I moved to Russia for ten years, and after that I came here, to the UK.
"You might not know it but Afghanistan is a really beautiful place. Sometimes I look at photos of the North where I was born, and it gets me so emotional, I cry."
