Cargill Salt Processing Plant

This image is one of a series on the colors and textures of the Salt Ponds of South San Francisco Bay. I am currently working on a couple of exhibits involving this series and would appreciate your comments. Is this one to keep or boot? Why? This photograph and most of the others I have posted on Photo.net are taken from kite-lofted cameras. A kite, unseen in the image, supports a small, radio-controlled cradle that holds the camera. I can position the camera by walking around and/or letting out or retrieving kite line. I aim the camera and fire its shutter using the radio while I stay at the ground end of the kite line. The camera can rotate through the compass, tilt from horizon to nadir, and change from portrait to landscape format. I compose my images by watching the camera and imagining what it would see. The whole process entertains me to no end. Details are available at http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap
