YouTube Description:

When Jimmy Nelson traveled to Siberia to photograph the Chukchi people, elders told him: "You cannot photograph us. You have to wait, you have to wait until you get to know us, you have to wait until you understand us." In this gorgeously photo-filled talk, join Nelson's quest to understand — the world, other people, himself — by making astonishing portraits of the world's vanishing tribes and cultures.

Double-Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, May 29th, 2015 7:21pm PDT - doublepromote requested by eric3579.

at 7:13, I totally had to double take...I was sure he said "...it's very personal, how and why I met these bitches."
I actually had to listen a third time before I got it. Oh. Maybe I have a spider in my ear.
Beautiful pictures, and great talk. Too bad there's the controversy about how he portrays some of the indigenous people, or the implication that their cultures are all slipping into oblivion.
