  "Myla Kent was one of the first contacts I added to my list when I first joined Flickr many moons ago. I was initially drawn to her photo stream not only because of her gorgeous photography but the kind spirit that came through those images and the obvious love we share for our fair city of Seattle.
  
  And even though we've yet to meet in person, I've felt for a while that--had we grown up in the same neighborhood--we would have been great friends, even sisters. Sharing books, stories and records, saving allowance money to purchase our first cameras, taking pictures of everything in sight, eating strawberry jell-o with cut up bananas. I could not be happier to count her as one of my most dear Flickr friends. Thanks Myla, for everything. :)"

  "Myla's stream is more than a stream.. it's a place where I go to feel more optimistic, lighter in spirit, and generally when I need a smile and a strong reminder that there is so much humanity out there for the taking- this is where I come to find that. A drink of inspiration, if you may. Myla's photos are unique in a way that they can only be taken by her to achieve the effect that they do. They catch the hidden reflections in windows, the quiet symmetry of what's crafted with joy and displayed for the public eye, the candid crossing of a confident woman across the street, and so much more. In a sea of thousands of streams, hers is the most organic one and full of depth that I have found so far. It's a pleasure and a complete joy to be able to come and visit :)"

  "I thought I'd written you a testimonial!
  Myla takes parts of the world, wraps them up and turns them into something completely new with the click of her shutter button.
  
  Myla's street photography puts shame on most and she takes the best damn photographs of chihuahuas!
  
  A beautiful soul..."

  "Myla...Myla....
  Why havent I written a testimonial for you yet?
  I keep asking myself.....
  
  Your photostream is such a delight to visit, I never know what I might encounter; will it be street life, images of nature, quiet observations of form and light.. or the dog....
  You not only share your work with us but you are also such a warm and giving member of the Flickr community.
  Myla, thank you for sharing your work with us, and thank you for being a friend."

  "i don't think there is quite another like myla on flickr...or anywhere for that matter. this is an incredibly gifted woman who shares her spirit, her laughter, her love and her soul with us through her photography. from images of her sweet pups to her incredible window shots, myla will have you running the gamut of emotions as you browse her photostream. there have been countless occassions that i am in tears, laughing out loud, moved in the heart, or deeply inspired by her work. without knowing it at the time, her quotes have come to my rescue. i so enjoy your work, myla. getting to know you has been a treat, and i hope that one day we might stroll the streets or chat over coffee. you are an incredible talent with a gift for photography, as well as a way for showing us how beautiful the little things in life can be."

  "Lo que me gusta de las fotos de Myla es su mirada siempre atenta, receptiva, sensible. Tiene la extraordinaria capacidad de realzar lo que toca con la lente de su cámara. Un escaparate, un rostro, un reflejo, todo tiene interés en su mundo de imágenes. Veo sus fotos y me veo reflejado en su manera de entender la fotografía. Es de mis primeros contactos y siempre espero sus trabajos. Saludos y buenas fotos."

  "Myla's work is truly inspiring. She can take the ephemeral, every-day world and turn it into something beautiful and thought provoking. Not only is she a very skilled photographer, she is also an incredibly cool person and one of the kindest people I have ever met (despite being nearly the other side of the world)."

  "oh wow. i got to meet her, hug her, and learned how to spell 'chihuahua' (i just did that from memory:)!
  
  i am entirely surprised i have not run into her earlier, as prolific she is in seattle. i love the way she looks at people (not like *that*!). Definitely a stream for the bookmarks. check it regularly."

  "purity is at the heart of the truth that is the world of myla.
  her keen intellectual perception is abundantly evident in her engrossing body of work. when you add in her genuine and supportive spirit, you've got a combination that is as natural, and essential to life, as breathing."

  Ed Karjala says:

  "Myla is an artist extraordinaire! She captures the essence of her subjects in a unique and intimate way -- always managing to wrap her images in a thought or phrase that makes the moment tangible. Her supportive comments, consistently high quality work, and introspective projects have inspired me to do more with my own efforts. Thanks Myla!"

  "Myla's work just amazes, engages and inspires me. She has a clever eye (probably even two of them!) and a keen sense of where to train her lens. She takes the everyday and ordinary, and makes it extraordinary.
  Plus, she leaves lots of really nice comments on my stream."
