Digging out old boxed up treasure

Today I decide to go through a shed load of stuff that has been boxed up on our farm since my family and I left Ireland for Kenya.  So 16 years later (today) I went through every box. 10 boxes later of stuff for the car boot sale I was left with a heap of absolute treasures. So I scrubbed them up and this is what I have!!!!

Obsessed with Jimmy Nelson's fascinating global journey exploring tribes 'before they pass'

  Jimmy Nelson, a British photographer took it upon himself to travel the world and meet the world's most unique and secluded tribes.  With a lot of time and effort he was able to capture incredible shots of these tribes in their phenomenal surroundings, dressed in their traditional ceremonial attire.  The materials they use to decorate their bodies from top to bottom is specifically created from natural resources around them to suit their comfort in these particular environments.  Here is a small selection of preserved memoirs from this priceless collection composed by the wonderful Jimmy Nelson.
