Published 6 years ago

Jimmy Nelson is a British photographer with over 30 years of experience. During his career, he visited many remote places of the world and photographed the exotic indigenous tribes he met. This year, the photographer published his second book featuring the tribes titled Homage to Humanity.

While his first book Before They Pass Away was a collection of photos in the form of a coffee table book, in his new book, Jimmy gives the readers a closer look at the tribespeople he photographed. He includes his travel journals, interesting facts, and maps from all of the 34 tribes he visited.

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
