Salt ponds in black and white
Inspired by the DVD series Saving the Bay, I volunteered a few hours one morning last October with Save the Bay, weeding invasive species from the Ravenswood Salt Ponds. Afterwards, I walked along the Bay Trail between Bayfront Park and the headquarters of Facebook (of all places), taking photos of the salt-crusted channels of an old salt pond. It seemed an apt subject for the Leica loaded with black and white film.
Great shots, Justin. I have fond memories of all the times I spent along the bay shoreline when I lived in the East Bay, particularly the area around Hayward Shoreline where I volunteered for a summer in the early 90’s. I love the black and white images.
I dig that second one.
Thanks guys. These turned out really well, if a little dramatic.
Hey there, I’m a local artist and would love to use that area for a photoshoot. Can you help me find it with a little more specific directions? If you can shoot me an email, that’d be most appreciative. Rad shots!
