Praise for Eirik Johnson:
“Johnson is interested in what happens at sites that are between places of habitation and desolation. In his travels he found that things accrue, and he makes often unexpectedly beautiful photographs showing them.”
- Alan Artner, Chicago Tribune, August 25, 2005

Praise for Taryn Simon:
“These poignant photographs can be admired for aesthetic reasons, but they can’t be divorced from their contexts… The subjects of these environmental portraits, shot in ordinary places where their otherwise ordinary lives were disrupted, are living testaments to a failed system.”
- Ruth Lopez, Time Out Chicago, August 18 2005, Issue No. 25
