"In the vein of so called Gutter Photojournalism is Nikki. Her photos capture that fleeting and sometimes bleeding essence of life and death. A few of these pictures are really heavy and not for the faint of heart, but therein lies their importance. These photos are not meant to be exploitative; they simply capture the breadth of scum life that endears even the shadiest of characters. Its cool to see a human side to people hellbent on image creation and life's destruction. It's god and the devil in the details. What I like about these photos are the quaintness in which they portray the human animal in a fleeting world. Sometimes, things feel like they're going so fast that you can't even hold on. We may be slighty different from our under evolved brothers, but not that far away. We resist, even though we're still guided from some primal place for better or worse."
