"Jim Saah's photography of the Washington, D.C. music scene is incomparable. Not only was he there but he completely got it." — Henry Rollins, musician, writer, photographer
"I remember being really struck by your pictures of Fugazi when I first saw them. I had seen plenty of other photos of us that were perfectly good representations, but your work often would look like the way I felt on stage."
— Ian MacKaye (Fugazi, Minor Threat)
"Jim Saah’s photographic work in the '80s is crucial in illustrating the energy and camaraderie that were particularly important components of the DC punk music scene.”
— Cynthia Connolly, photographer, curator and publisher of Banned in DC
“Jim’s work benefits from his excellent eye for motion and light, but perhaps equally important is his tenacity. Jim was everywhere anything was happening in our scene. I think he knew at a very young age that you can’t shoot what you can’t see. It was his constant participation in our community that produced all these fantastic images we now enjoy today.”
— Brian Baker, Musician, Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Bad Religion
