Jacksonville-based photographer Michael Jones just received a major award for his striking series capturing everyday life in West African villages. His black-and-white portraits show fishermen, market vendors, and children playing in dusty streets, bringing a dignity and intimacy rarely seen in Western media. The honor surprised him but not locals who've long admired his respectful eye.
