April 2001:
Media shoots on Harbour Island, Bahamas
 Our
combination of turquoise waters and quaint architecture draws film
crews from around the world. Last month we had one crew shooting
for Talbots clothing and another shooting the cover of Oprah's new
book.
Fashion shoots such as the one shown at right especially can't
resist posing by the driftwood tree in Girls Bay.
In the remaining photos you see a crew working to shoot a TV commercial
for Target's spring clothing line a few years back. When they used
Mr. Saunders vegetable stand to film a sandal amidst his limes,
locals got a laugh to see them change his sign to "Fruit and
Veggies." (Mr. Saunders has since changed it back to "Vegetables").
 If
you caught the final commercial you saw a milisecond flash of a
model leaning against a shutter of the old Briland Bakery down by
the fishermens pier.
If you drop by the Vic Hum club, ask proprietor "Hitler"
Percentie to show you his collection of magazine ads taken on the
island. And if you need to book a shoot, talk to Dake Gonzalez over
at Island Services.
