Born in London, Jason Florio moved to the USA in 1987. There he spend his time searching for the perfect pool to ride his skateboard. But after a while he pursued a career in photography. Now, nine years later, he has been among the Taliban, searched for nomads in the Afghan valleys, saw the Twin Towers collapsing before his eyes, enjoyed the comforts of a Cuban hospital, chatted with Somali pirates, and so much more.
