"I produce social and documentary photography. My work is centered around making photographs and witnessing the condition of the world around me. I try to show a certain reality, which matches my vision and my emotions. My desire is to show the contradictions and paradoxes; the counterbalance of a world in progress which is impossible to deny. I am interested in the reality we don’t see."–Gilles Perrin

Africa has a place of honor this year at Paris Photo 2011 and although Gilles Perrin is not showing his Burkina Faso Ceremonial Mask photographs there, his exhibition "WOMEN" is in Rueil-Malmaison at Espace Renoir.

After meeting Photojournalist Jason Florio at last year's Review Santa Fe, I posted some photographs (on 9.15.09) from his project Makasutu: Mecca In The Forest, now on sale on Blurb Books, and my favorite quote of his which covers everything you might find about his work.

I have been arrested by the Taliban...ridden into far-flung Afghan valleys in search of nomads with mujahideen as my security, dressed as a woman to cross a border, was at the foot of the Twin Towers as they collapsed, enjoyed the 'comforts' of a Cuban hospital, hunted bats in Surinam, chatted with Somali pirates over Coke and biscuits and danced like a fiend in Beirut nightclubs...among other things.

Jason, and his partner, Photography & Expedition Producer Helen Jones, made a 930km walk around The Gambia last year. You can view (and purchase) portraits he made along the route here: 930km African Odyssey
