Had a long conversation with someone today about the fishing industry, or lack thereof, in Doringbaai, up the West Coast. Having a series of photographs from there as part of my screensaver enabled me to relate vividly to the conversation.

One of my favourite aspects to photographing the sea regularly, is tied up with how I get to gain access to the full range of colour that the sea may produce. Seascapes are about mood and moodiness, some soothing, and others very threatening in tossing about the full might of an alien force that landlubbers may enjoy but seldom enter into without apprehension.
