Spending yet another eternity on tumblr, I came across an image by photographer Rachel Baran, and intrigued, I found her flikr page and instantly fell in love with her work. The first image was what caught my attention, the rest; what kept it.

Striking Portraits of Ancient Tribes Around the World- Jimmy Nelson

In 2009, photographer Jimmy Nelson set out on a journey to document the ‘world’s last indigenous cultures’. Using a 4×5 camera, Nelson took an amazing series of portraits, featuring 31 ancient tribes around the world.

The project, entitled Before They Pass Away, culminated with an elegant hardcover book (available in three versions) featuring stories of his encounters and nearly 500 photos.

I found these images to be incredibly astounding and extremely eye opening. Its amazing to see people living in the same world as me but so completely differently. 

after working in photoshop for the multiples assignment, I've been really into looking at different types of photo manipulation, so when I came across this photo set, I instantly loved it. I love the idea that these little delicate balerinas are kicking some ass. enjoy..
