“We selected 50 of Canada’s top
photographers, loaded them up
with film, and told them to capture
the magic and excitement of Expo
86,"" said Derik Murray, Creative
Director for the Expo Celebration
and President of Murray/Love
Productions [ne.

“They began shooting when the
gates opened May 2nd, and we
now have over 100,000 photos cat-
alogued.”’

Murray said the most difficult
pact of the project was choosing
the final 450 photographs that ap-
pear in The Expo Celebration.

ABUNDANT MATERIAL

“The Expo 86 site gave us an
exciting subject: to photograph,
and with all the people and events
involved with the exposition, we
have a wealth of material produc-
ed."

The Expo Celebration was
pre-marketed to corporations, and
advance sales of the book already
made it a best-seller in the Cana-
dian market, according to Michael
Burch, Director of Marketing for
The Expo Celebration.

Burch, who is founder and
publisher of Vancouver-based
Whitecap Books, said over half of
the 50,000 books printed were
already sold.

“The book stores tell us they
eapect The Expo Celebration to be
one of the big sellers for
Christmas,’’ states Burch, ‘‘Expo
86 has generated a lot of positive
memories for Canadians. We feel
The Expo Celebration will have
great nostalgic value, and provide
people with a trcasured coffee
table book that captures the Expo
experience.”’
