"You have a whimsical street eye that is excellent"

"Julie has a great eye and a better brain"

Don Camera-Photographer

"She freezes time.....an architect of change, stimulating the grey matter through photography; exposing the fact that our minds have been crusted shut with the everyday mucus that is our routine, forcing the viewer to pry their inner eye open and expose it to the beauty that is: old diner folk smoking cigarettes with coffee-stained teeth"

Abiezer Galloza- Artist
