Recently, I have been spending an amazing amount of time working on this stacked digital projection system. We finally got it done. And I took some time to get some pictures.
During the early days of my South Bay photography, Cargill’s Newark salt plant and its surrounding crystallizer beds appeared on my map as terra incognita. From the beginning, I wanted to photograph Cargill’s facility, both for its colorful nature and its role as the last truly active salt plant in the Bay Area. The plant, originating as Arden Salt Works #2 in the 1920s, has long provided the distinctive sight of stacked salt on the edge of the former wetlands. In the current day, an annual harvest of around 500,000 tons is added to the twin mounds of salt that are 500 feet long and 75 feet high. It is a striking landmark.
In 2010, after several years of discussion, I was able to secure Cargill’s permission for five sessions to photograph their property under supervision. This set was taken late in the day with a launch site just upwind of the salt stacks. As the sun set, I was able to photograph the stacks, the salt plant, and the crystallizer beds beyond. It was an interesting time to photograph for the annual salt harvest was still underway. In this set, you can see the fleet of balloon-tired dump trucks hauling salt to the plant’s washhouse. Here the harvested salt is washed in brine and placed on a rubber conveyor belt for delivery to the stacks. The photographs also show bulldozers on top of the stacks tidying up the pile and pushing salt toward another conveyor belt that delivers salt to the processing plant. It is a busy place!
I took these documentary photographs with the permission and supervision of Cargill. Kite flying is prohibited over Cargill-controlled lands without their permission.

Dried peat bricks are used for fuel, farmers and their families cut and dry their own turf from the large peat bogs in the area. Here in the West, there are plenty of stacks of peat, lots of blue smoke from chimneys, and the sweet smell of slow, even-burning turf fires.
