Photojoumalist shoots Eugene
for book about life in America
By Michael Rivers
Of lb* Knwrald
A scene from the University could end up as
one of 350 photographs portraying “A Day in the
Life of America” if deemed representative of
American life by the organizers of the largest
photographic project ever attempted in this
country.
Gianni Giansanti, one of more than two hun
dred photojournalists from 30 countries who are
participating in the project, arrived in Eugene
Tuesday morning to scout the area before the
designated 24-hour shooting period which began
midnight Thursday. Although he has been
assigned to do photo essays involving the
Weyerhaeuser Company and the American Gym
nastics Training Center, Giansanti has complete
freedom in regard to what he wants to shoot.
“I’m free to follow my own creative in
terests,” he said through an interpreter at a news
conference Thursday.
Aside from his photo essays, he is here to
find “whatever interests me, whatever strikes my
fancy," he said.
Giansanti is participating in a project
organized by photojournalist Kick Smolun and
editor David Cohen, editors of four international
ly best-sailing books about Australia. Hawaii.
(Canada and |apan. Their most recent venture will
culminate in a 288-page. 10 X 14-inch book with
350 color and black-and-white photographs that
portray the broad spectrum of American life. '
Sponsors of the project include Eastman
Kodak, who is supplying.all of the professional
film and film processing for the event, and United
Airlines’ who is responsible for transporting the
photographers to the 50 states, ’ ■ . ”
° Beginning at 7 a.m. today. Giansanti will at
tempt to follow and document the path that a log
follows.-from the time il’ji cut in.the woods and
transported for processing in a miH. to the finish
• ed.product ip the form, of lumber ’
.; i—;-:——• -
Ed Baker, a Weyerhaeuser road construction
foreman, will act as guide for the trip. Due to his
set time schedule, Giansanti will begin by
photographing logs as they are unloaded from a
train at the mill, before being taken to a logging
site near Marcola to shoot trees as they are boing
cut down, Baker said.
From there they will follow the log as it is
"yarded to a landing." loaded on a truck,
transferred to a train in the reload area, taken to
the mill and dumped in the pond. Baker said. A
new guide will take over from there to lead Gian
santi through the inside of the mill, he said.
After capturing the Weyerhaeuser logging
process on film. Giansanti will go to the
American Gymnastics Training Center at HHH Gar
field St.
Giansanti is interested in the center because
so many "Olympic kids" have come from there,
he said. While at the academy, he said he hopes
to find and capture on film the "beginnings of
champions,"
Even though Giansanti will shoot rolls and
rolls of film, he said it does not bother him that
only a couple of photos may be selected for
publication. Even if none of the photos make it in
to to the book, "I will let tremendously happv to
have participated in this project." he said
Giansanti is normally employed by the
French news agency, Sygma, and he works out of
Koine. Before coming to the United States to par
ticipate in the project. Giansanti had traveled
from El Salvador and Cuatamala to Libya, arriv
ing there shortly after the U.S. Isimbing
One of his interpreters. Carolina Murillo,
said that Giansanti also covers the travels of the
pope when he leaves Rnme>

photographers as well one in Port land and one
in the Three Sisters area.
