Kodak Photographers Travel 750,000 Miles to Find Color Pictures for N. Y. World's Fair Fourteen footsore but satisfied Eastman Kodak photographers recently completed a world-wide search for suitable pictures for the Kodak World's Fair Pavilion. The photographers traveled the equivalent of six times around the world in their search for 60 pictures which appear in color as 20 x 36 fool prints on Kodak's Picture Tower at the New York World's Fair. Lincoln V. Burrows, Kodak's Di rector of World's Fair Planning, explains that the pictures "are intended to focus the attention of 70 million World's Fair visitors on the people and places of our world of contrasts. "By employing the universal language of photography we at Kodak hope to do our part in implementing the World's Fair theme of 'Peace through Understanding'." he added. Wide Search The photographers, advised to contact local Kodak dealers and representatives for advice, began their travels in early 1963 and completed their assignments by late fall. A special Washington, D. C. ceremony launched the station-wagon-trailer accommodations for those photographers working on assignment in the U. S., Canada and Mexico. The picture-taking project, largest of its kind ever undertaken, called for some bizarre travel arrangements ranging from jet planes and helicopters to Norwegian pack horses, Alpine cable cars and several hundred miles of hiking. For example, photographer Lee Howick flew by jet to Australia only to crawl by jeep over a dry rivei bed to photograph desolate but beautiful Palm Valley. Later, Ho wick's seven-hour trek to the Banawe rice terraces in the Philippines necessitated constant contact with telephone stations strung along the onelane path. Hawaiian Scenes Ralph Amdursky, another Kodak photographer, captured Hawaiian ?in forest beauty on film and then zed himself and his equipment intc a helicopter to film native outrigge. canoes crashing through the. surf at 'aikiki. On the other side of the globe. Neal Montanus set out one day to ph raph the Matterhorn in the Swiss i s and returned in the late afternoon /ithout his picture but with a skier w > had been rescued 16 from a crevasse. Montanus made his picture of the Matterhorn a few days later. Eleven Kodak photographers contributed to the domestic phot caravan effort. Stopping their specially equipped trailer whenever they discovered a possible picture story, the men shot the steel mills at Bessemer, the French Quarter in New Orleans, as well as shrimp fleets in the Gulf of Mexico. In the West, Texas location shots included the Alamo as well as modern-day cattle ranches and the photographers, often working in pairs, also found time to capture on film Pueblo Indian life, the Rockies, Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Teton Mountain range. The 60-odd pictures for the Kodak Picture Tower are illuminated night and day with special lights so brilliant that the color prints have the visual impact formerly associated only with transparencies. Commenting on the photographs in their World's Fair context, Peter Braal, manager of Kodak's Photographic Illustrations Division, said, "The giant photographs are oui World's Fair beacon — they are as appealing as the world we searched to find them." iP G.
