The purity of humanity exists. It is there in the mountains, the ice fields, the jungle, along the rivers and in the valleys. Jimmy Nelson found the last tribesmen and observed them. He smiled and drank their mysterious brews before taking out his camera.

They are said to be from an oil rig that crashed into the island in 2006 after breaking loose from a vessel towing it across the Atlantic. The oil rig was then dragged out to sea, scuttled and sank to a depth of 3500 metres. Some of the debris washed ashore.

A little over a year ago, Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck mashed up fine-art photography with animated GIFs, and the "cinemagraph" was born. Since then, a cottage app-industry has sprung up around this ingenious digital art form, offering everyday folks easy tools for creating artsy animated GIFs of their own.

Random police searches and detentions piqued Kollar’s sense of constantly being under surveillance and the subject of suspicion.
