Absolutely!. It can also be said of video!. Images, or quotes for that matter, when taken out of context or used for illustration, can impact any cause!.

An example of this is the conservation movement spear headed by California's John Muir, backed by Teddy Roosevelt, and photographed by Ansul Adams!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
