Bonaire Salt

Each pond is harvested about once a year. The crystals are washed then dried for several months. Finally, at 2000 tons a hour, it is loaded by conceyor belt into ships.

The salt made at Cargill Salt Bonaire is a natural product of sea water, sunshine and wind. Sea water is pumped into coondenser ponds to sit until full saturiation is reached. As the seawater begins to evaporate, the changing salinity levels causes the water to change color from Blue -> Green -> Brown -> Bright Pink before it completely dries and crystalizes. The salt is then washed and put into giant piles before being loaded onto ships for export to North American, European and Western Pacific markets where it is used mostly in industrial & road salt roles.

Today we are doing something interesting-
AJ is making a video from the still images we recently shot in Chicago for a technology company.
The idea is to show the process (before/after) we went through in creating an image for the cover of an annual report.
Starting with nothing...a blank slate...an empty room.
First- we had to find a place to shoot where we can turn off the ambient light, make the room dark, set up a studio, not bother anyone.
...but still have the idea we are on location. We chose a long corridor where we could use a telephoto lense to throw the backgound out of focus.
Second-gathering wardrobe, props and the product, finding a subject/model.
Third-lighting the background (add color), middle ground (subject) and foreground (product).

and finally-getting the correct expression on the face.
Talk to you soon.
