"Her black and white photographs are a study in compositional
skills when photography was much different from the present era of
technological advancement."
*Blouin Artinfo*
"She [Boretz] has mastered the ability to arrest the viewer's eye
and resonate with the timeless photographs of children playing in
the park, streets, and schoolyards. As well as the intimacy in
lovers, strangers, and relatives.Streetembodies the entire spectrum
of the complexities of the common people."
*Daily Beast*
"Instead of capturing the social and political strife that
dominated the city during that period, Carrie's work focuses on the
subtle and often familiar comings and goings of everyday life in
the neighbourhoods around where she lived, before the city was
reborn and regenerated into the New York we know today."

"The book is a testament to seeing, Carrie managing to stay hyper
aware of juxtapositions and relationships, but it is also a
testament to commitment, returning year after year to the streets
in search of that split second of something real and
beautiful."
*Lenscratch*
"The photographs detain notions of simplicity and awareness,
avoiding the commotion of the city. The book brings together works
of the past, but with aspects of humanity that remain on the
streets today."
