  Reid Harris Cooper says:

  "Not only do Jim & Karla chronicle some of the most important history of cities, they also have one of the coolest dogs ever. Seriously, the photography might be genius, but it's got nothing on the dog!"

  "Life and art tends to be all about "the company you keep" and now I take great pride in knowing that you are there, site unseen, being company I keep!!!
  I will continue to learn, and study, and grow and shoot. It's really very wonderful to know that I am not alone in my passions!!! A passion thought to 'tabou' by the masses, dismissed as vandalism and rebellion. An art form all its own, is on the city's walls, buildings, and bridges, and the artists' themselves seen as vandals. The inner city is a magnificant gallery ...if you dare!
  Jim and Karla, passionately and relentlessly, document these artists and their work, some of the finest in the world! Work, that will in fact, only last a 'NY' minute, if not caught by the eye and the snap of a shutter.
  Much love and respect always,
  ~ClevelandAngel"

  "Whether or not it’s true, I always feel like I know exactly what’s going on beyond the edges of these photos – the stoop next door, the guy in a leather jacket walking by on the sidewalk, the smell of exhaust and rust, the sound of a faraway car horn. That’s how strong a sense J and K give you of their subjects- the places, the people, and the art that they love. This stuff is the real deal. I love it, too."

  ""New York...like i pictured it " says a song of the big Stevie Wonder.
  Stevie was right but unfortunately, he won't have the chance to see Jim and Karla's work. And that's a shame."

  "with all the accolades raining down upon them, i'm not sure a flickr testimonial from me is quite on par with the level of love shown jim&karla in the various major media outlets. that love, however, is so very well deserved. jim&karla combine artistic sensibilities with a documentarian's working methodology and passion for the subject matter.
  basically, their shit is thee shit... nah'mean?"

  "Phemon!!! For real, Broken Windows changed my outlook and inspired me. Thank you for the heart you have for the art and for the documentation of the diversity of this culture. I should hope to meet you in NY one day, if I ever make it to the mecca!
  With mad respect!
