Title: Passage to Vietnam: Through the Eyes of Seventy Photographers by Rick Smolan, Jennifer Erwitt ISBN: 1-885559-00-3 Publisher: Against All Odds Productions & Melcher Media Pub. Date: 01 October, 1994 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $50.00 |

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent.
Comment: This book, which should be entitled "A day in the Life of Vietnamese" is the creation of Rick Smolan of the "Day in the Life" series.
In 1994, 70 photographers descended on Vietnam for a week to take pictures of the Vietnamese at work from north to south. They caught people in the middle of shopping, selling, eating, working, napping, and so on. The result is a fascinating book detailing the life of Vietnamese during that week.
While most pictures are interesting and original, a few are unique to the Vietnamese society.
Rating: 5
Summary: A deeply cultural perspective on lifestyles, culture, values
Comment: Vietnam is one of the most picturesque countries and colorful cultures. Yet it remains as one of the least understood countries in the world, despite having been one of the most publicized. This photo journalistic journey allows pictures to speak volumes. Look into the eyes of the children, the lives of the rice farmers. The art, the economy, family and community interaction -- are all visible and life-like in this representation of life today in Vietnam

Summary: Entertainment Weekly says:
Comment: PASSAGE TO VIETNAM (Against All Odds/Interval Research, CD-ROM for PC and
Mac, $39.95) With its 400 photos, hour of video, lilting indigenous music, and insightful
essays, this landmark disc transports you to contemporary Vietnam, where pigs squawk,
mothers tote babies on their backs, and peddlers hawk dried sea horses. This Passage,
produced with Scorsese-like lushness by Rick Smolan, is no swanky animated program, but
it is virtual reality of a high and literary nature because it makes you dream. Without wasting
words, the photographers eloquently tell the stories behind their pictures--stories of people at
work and play. Though we can't help but remember the horror of war, Passage helps us to
see that time has begun its healing. A+ --Harold Goldberg
