| Synopsis: |
Girls, Guns and Gonzo is a photo journalist book, a collage of almost 20 year's work by roaming freelance photo and video journalist Martin Jay. The book itself comprises of 102 pages of mainly black and white pictures, exclusively of strange people - often in stranger places. Jay's work took him to seven war zones - Algeria, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Yugoslavia, Somalia, Rwanda and Pakistan - and since, 1990, has prompted him and his aging Nikon F3 to capture poignant moments during those difficult times, when he was often there as a cameraman or reporter for the conventional mass media. There isn't a specific theme as the author hopes that the clumsy melange of war shots and pretty girls stands up in its own merits. But it's not all tyranny and decay. There are also some photos of interesting characters in Europe to lure the reader back to sanity and order in a pre-internet world of foreign reporting where often getting to a hot place - and staying alive - was the very essence of the craft of journalism itself. Those days are definitely behind us. |
