The Jimador’ or harvester of agave plants is a romanticized profession in central Mexico. Roberto Jimenez Ramos uses his ‘Coa’ which is a unique tool designed specifically for culling the sharp external leaves of the blue agave plant in order to harvest the ‘Piña’, the body of the agave which is baked in large ovens in preparation for making tequila. These piña will be processed by the Tequila Ocho brand in Jalisco, Mexico. You will find heroic paintings of Jimadors in action in bars and restaurants all over tequila country but it’s much better to witness the action in person:)

I recently travelled to Jalisco, Mexico to photograph the world of Tequila production for a new @natgeo and @wsj magazine called Far & Away. The inaugural issue of the mag just came out in print over the weekend, delivered within the Wall Street Journal. ‘Tequila Rocks’ was an epic journey into the blue agave fields East of Guadalajara, to the rowdy bars of Tequila town.

“At a broken television repair shop, the grandson watches his grandfather step by step. It seems like he loves this job,” writes #YourShotPhotographer Duc Bui Viet. “This is a photo I like very much because it reminds me of the time when life is still difficult, and technology has not developed as it is now.”

“What struck me right away was the use of light in this image. Also the framing within the TV is excellent! You really set a tone with this image, I love that the grandson is looking over the grandfather’s shoulder studying as he repairs a TV. Learning the trade by just watching as it happens right in front of him. Great work with this photograph.” — @natgeoyourshot Senior Producer Matt Adams (@themattadams)
Photo by @amivitale. Giraffe keeper Lekupania and two orphaned giraffes whose lives he saved at Sarara Camp (@sararacamp) in northern Kenya. The giraffes come back to Sarara, which sits on the 850,000-acre Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy and is owned by the Samburu community, every morning to check in with Lekupania. Twigs, the oldest giraffe, was found upside down and stuck in an erosion gully and immediately rescued by the community. Both giraffes have been successfully introduced back into the wild. Current estimates are that giraffe populations across Africa have dropped 40 percent, plummeting from 140,000 in the late 1990s to around 85,000 today. To learn more about incredible conservation efforts in the area, follow and come visit Sarara Camp (@sararacamp) and nearby Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e). And follow @amivitale for more stories from around the world.

Marcus Wagner (@mr.wgnr) got lost (literally) with a friend in an industrial neighborhood. “#WHPgetlost could be my personal theme — I’m always trying to find lost places, hideaways and strange locations.”

Saint-Petersburg Catherine Palace is definitely worth visiting if anyone comes to Russia. This amazing palace was bombed during the World War 2. Its famous Amber Room was dismantled and eventually disappeared during the war. Before it’s loss it was thought to be an “Eights Wonder of the World”. We were super lucky to have this place just for us for this photo as usually it is packed with people.

Во время Великой Отечественной войны дворец оказался на оккупированных территориях и его знаменитая Янтарная комната была вывезена немецкими войсками. Считалось, что Янтарная комната - это “восьмое чудо света” Нам невероятно повезло сфотографировать кадр без людей. ❍❍❍❍❍❍❍❍❍❍❍
