'Dumped by Dana Jones' is a clever and humorous collection of photos that feature a common feeling most people are familiar with -- rejection. The best thing about this body of work is that it does not hold back. All of those raw and sometimes crazy emotions that people feel once being broken up with or rejected are translated into an interesting collection of photos. Of course, Jones doesn’t advocate homicide or actually inflicting your former lover with bodily harm, but it allows viewers to express feelings that couldn’t be explored in real life.
