    Blog Entry: Press - Aug 2010 - PDN Magazine features one of Jason Florio’s portrait of Gambian village chief (Alkalo Messaneh Cham) on the cover (and inside). Conor Risch, PDN, also talks to Florio about how we appealed to friends and family to help fund our West African expedition last year (now popularly known as ‘crowd funding’ – not that we knew it back then!), by offering fine art expedition prints on our return from the 930km walk. And if you read to the end of the magazine, you get to hear about where the inspiration behind Florio’s use of the black backdrop came from http://www.facebook.com/pages/jason-florio-photojournalistwriterartist/122107261141358#!/album.php?aid=21427&id=122107261141358

    Blog Entry- June 2010: Pulitzer Prize-winning NYC photo editor, Stella Kramer, interviews Jones for her blog, Stellazine, about her (Jones’) ‘experience, and what she learned about herself, about travelling with donkeys, and where home really is….’Main Image © Jones-2009: Fula tribe boys playing in the field as Florio sets up his trademark black cloth in the background, ready to photograph the village chief. The inimitable Stella Kramer asked me if she could interview me for her blog, Stellazine. Ermmm……ok! I really admire her work so I was extremely flattered that she asked me. She said she was really interested in hearing my story because I had kept the blog whilst on the road (and obviously still do). Her questions were great and answering them took me back to the journey and made me want to literally be back on those dusty roads. Here is the interview. I hope you enjoy. http://blog.stellakramer.com/2010/06/short-walk-in-gambian-bush-helen-jones.html (images from both myself and Florio – i.e. he took the ones with me in them!)
