Joe Quint: It Takes Us

A photographer turns activist to highlight the consequences of gun violence.

“I became increasingly frustrated by inaction – my own, and the inaction of my country. I could no longer simply pay lip service to the importance of reducing the over 32,000 senseless and preventable deaths that take place every year.

“I want to show how the crisis extends far beyond the typical media narrative of urban violence to include domestic abuse, suicide, children being injured or killed by unsecured guns in their homes, and so many more tragic cases.” Joe Quint
