Why I Take Photographs of the Sea


Jane asked me quite recently why I take photographs of the sea

Was it the movement or the light or a combination of the two

I answered yes and no as both the light and movement of the sea

Interested me a great deal but it was the moment that I wanted to capture

I wanted to catch the exact light on the sea at the very moment of my photograph

I wanted to catch the seabird in flight and the clouds in their high theatre

I wanted to catch the wide eternity and the intimacy of my lens

But most of all I wanted to capture God in all his Majesty
