"There is a warmth and humanity to everyone documented within the pages of this beautiful world printed in stunning black and white." - Analog Forever Magazine, January 17, 2021

"Kicking Sawdust: Running Away with the Circus and Carnival, doesn't glamorize, it humanizes. While not the everyday experience for most, the collection of images normalizes the day to day existence of life on the road." - Art Daily

"When daily life is shared-with anyone, in any context—this intimate kind of knowing facilitates the forming of a kind of family. Perhaps existing in just that one dimension, perhaps for only that specific time and space in one's life; but seeing people first thing in the morning, trading chores, witnessing the range of emotions humans navigate in daily life, familiarizes and connects."-  All-About-Photo
