“What Peter did with his camera at Deer Lake in August of 1974 lets us experience Muhammad Ali’s private world in a way not seen before. It’s clear from the access Peter had that Ali was interested in history and saw value in the creation of a record of his activities at the crucial moment in his life.”- D A Pennebaker
