"From Machu Picchu's sunswept stolidness to the mugging unwashed faces of Neapolitan kids; from Tokyo's Yoyogi Park where teens lip sync and step a la fifties R&B groups to groomed-hair New York streets of 1964; from a busy square in Port-au-Prince, Haiti (with bright pink dresses) to a country fair in Maine, AROUND THE WORLD ... looks in on six locales and reports them directly back. The indigenous images echo and counterpoint, presenting a panorama of glorious earthly variety; unadorned realities sweetened by their transiency one to the next, mirroring and magnifying life's own." - Reed Bye
