To put it simply, this book is fun.
Stephen Leslie has always tried to capture images that hint at wider, hidden narratives - suggestive moments rather than decisive ones - and Sparks is a book that imagines the weird and wonderful stories behind his original Street photographs.. - Guardian A family is brought close to ruin by a pet python; an Icelandic advertising agency has a problem with a campaign involving a dead seagull; a chiropodist desperately wants to stop examining people\'s feet and dreams of becoming a pirate... - Lens Culture Funny, tragic and often bizarre, Stephen Leslie\'s photos in his book Sparks are an unique ode to Street photography.
But every image gets remade in ways that hold a bit of genius.
It\'s also funny, deep, at times disturbing, at other times profoundly hopeful.
To put it simply, this book is fun
