A Sign of What Could Be the Future of Print « Vincent Laforet
I think that what Alexx Henry did for Viv Mag is absolutely brilliant. Sure some mags may say this is too big of a production for them to realistically aspire to – but I’ll go ahead and say more power to him to truly pushing the envelope right into the future – and for pulling it off masterfully.

Nukak Maku [Colombia] – Photo Essay by Jan Sochor
The Nukak Maku people, a nomadic indian tribe from Amazonia, were violently driven out of the jungle by the Colombian guerilla and paramilitary squads. Since the time of the first contact, more than a half of Nukak have died of the western diseases like flu. Now, roughly cut off their original tribal lifestyle in refugee camps, they stuck between worlds. They learn from the (mainly Christian) aid workers to use clothes, to listen to the radio, to beg for money despite the fact they do not understand these concepts. Although their digestion suffer, they love to eat sweets, cookies and other western food. They have hunted out all the animals around and now there is nothing left for them. Nukak can not return to the jungle, their world has already passed through an irreversible change.
