  "Chele In LA has become a staple of my Flickr diet. I've loved Los Angeles graffiti for decades now. Just when I start to look down on the scene because of the politics and egotrippin', she picks me back up and reveals the life that I thought was lost with the culture. The graff scene has inspired me on so many levels and looking at her pictures reminds me of that. Los Angeles graffiti is DEEP! and often times overlooked but she gets right in there and exposes what others are missing. I look forward to looking at her sight to see what she is going to download next. I hope you feel the same and get caught up in vapors."

  "Chele is a documentarian. She lends immortality to an essentially ephemeral art form. Her love of street art transcends her photographs, nurturing and inspiring us. Her heart is full of love and wonder. She gives so much of herself to this culture, and to its participants. Her encouragement has given me the strength to move forward at a time when my own work was being dismissed as trash by those closest to me. For this I am eternally grateful.
  I was honored to send her a huge package of stickers and instrumental Hip-Hop, probably the largest such package I've ever sent to anyone.
  She always tells me that she wishes she could draw the things I do, and I am always telling her that she can. I believe she could probably do better than I ever will.
  Chele is an angel. I am so grateful to have discovered her and her unique appreciation of the world's most influential artistic movement."

  "You know there are some things
  so right with the world
  when you click with an
  awesome human being,
  on so many levels,
  clear across the country!!!
  Chele in LA has profoundly
  and selfishlessly dedicated her
  passion, and love of Graffiti,
  to document and share
  with the world, these amazing
  works of art. Like sandcastles,
  are gone in the blink of an eye!!!
  Chele in LA sees the art, the talent,
  the commitment and compassionately
  sees every drop of paint as beauty!
  And, I am quite sure see is shooting
  much of this in the most undesirable
  of areas, that most full grown men
  might think twice about!!!!
  Love, Respect, and Peace!!

  "chele in la and chele in the graff capture mode x1000. this woman knows where to look, and just how far to go in order to scoop dope dope street visuals from the la/cali area.
  chele is a true lover for writing in the streets. she is a persistant graff hunter who will go to great legnths to capture photos in barriered areas, and to label all uploaded photos correctly so as to give credit where deserved.
  chele will not fail to please ur visuals with cali street art fliks that would otherwise remain a mystery to the massses."

  "L.A. L.A. Big City of Dreams ...
  
  I've never been to LA in my life, but thanks to Chele, I've the City of Angels, right here, right now, just in front of me.
  Each day, I come here on Flickr, and look her photos : always new graffs, new styles, new masterpieces, new letters, new colors ! We are quite the same (just can't get enough, my friend).
  
  You're a great inspiration to me, Chele : My L.A. connection =)"

  "One word describes Chele's continuous efforts to show me and you and those dam critics and posh tits in their galleries that graffitti is what it is...art. Her photos are very much inspirational as the work is in them too. Ohh back to what I was saying before the word for your photos is as you come to expect it from me...A W E S O M E!"
