The photos are amazing - blows my mind the amount of hardware people have brought to get hold of the 'ethical ivory'. The cost much be huge, it appears to be a wild gamble for those taking part - but then I guess that is why it is so like the gold rush.

Check out other photo essays by Amos Chapple too, he's pretty great (for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34206885).


Thank you - they are stunning. It is a media type that I don't often see - to be honest my go to is readying the HN discussion, before I even click through to the article (if I do at all) - so I'm sure I miss loads of great content like this.
