georgesteinmetz.com — Photos taken by great outdoors-explorer photog, George Steinmetz. Gallery contains some nudity [but nothing prurient, etc.] Really an awesome look into largely unknown culture & people who, when pics were shot, had basically never had contact with "civilization" before. Some of the pics are truly fantastic.

Great and informative images, but this is exactly how the isolation that has preserved such a unique culture will disappear and the culture will be lost forever.

NSFW. Also child porn.

His usage the semicolon as a super-comma is correct.

*You* don't understand what's out there. The majority of the Earth's population has never made a telephone call. Do you think these guys could just take a long walk and eventually find a 7-11 and buy themselves a slushee, maybe find a part time job flipping burgers or start up working as a janitor somewhere? Do you think maybe they're just a plane ticket away from getting a work visa and moving to America? You don't have any idea how uncommon your lifestyle--our lifestyle--is. Now if you personally want to take in a willing immigrant from a remote jungle village to live in your house while he adjusts to our culture, then great. But you're not going to do that. At most you'd give him some cigarettes and a coke and f**k off back to your suburban house with plumbing and central heating and an adsl line, patting yourself on the back for how you helped out some ignorant savage by showing him what great things exist in your superior civilization. jdfoote2's point is a good one: those people are doing fine and you should just leave them the f**k alone.

The fact that penises are not something my culture is used to seeing out in public. Draws a lot of attention for me. Maybe your just used to seeing them all the time, while the balls are swinging at your chin.

They're not forcing anything on anyone. wtf is wrong with you people? So anxious to jump all over anything and find something to whine about. OMG RELIGION LOLOLOL! They said absolutely NOTHING about spreading religion in this story so how about you chill out and stop trying to find things to nitpick.

And in other news, this weeks we got a rare glimpse into the lives of the American Polygamist people, which seems to have had no contact with 20th century civilization (not to mention 21st century) and for which there was thankfully no nudity when photographed.
