Dirty Pictures

Ralph Jones has been experimenting with the photographic process since the age of 10. For the last few years he has been documenting the City of Detroit in an attempt to inspire an appreciation and understanding of the uniqueness of Detroit, her buildings, and her people. As a result of this documentation he has set about developing a second career as a photographer, editor, publisher, exhibiting artist and educator. “Ralph Jones, a fav of mine – - sees Detroit through a very compassionate, humane, non-judgemental filter (his heart) that when viewed through his lens, provides us with an important view of Detroit (his hope). He is an ambassador for Detroit through his photography. If politics didn’t require corruption, he’d be Detroit’s man.” Dinah Hemenway Oude-Reimerink
