Images that sparks - in you..

"You write in order to change the world…. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it.” -James Baldwin

"The truth is that we know that the images themselves don't change the world, but we're also aware that, since the beginning of photography, images have provoked reactions in people, and those reactions have caused change to happen.

Ansel Adams said, and I disagree with him, "You don't take a photograph, you make it." In my view, it's not the photographer who makes the photo, it's you.

We bring to each image our own values, our own belief systems, and as a result of that, the image resonates with us. I hope that the next time you see an image that sparks something in you, you'll better understand why, and you'll definitely do something about it." - Jonathan Klein
