Photographing the Basque Coast: Mood, Light, and Texture in Biarritz
The Basque coast isn’t always about golden sunsets and turquoise surf. Sometimes, its real character reveals itself when the weather turns moody — when the Atlantic sky thickens with clouds and the sea mirrors that drama.

By now you all know that I am drawn to the color blue, especially where water is involved. Now couple blues with reds for an amazing contrast and you have a sense of my recent visit to Croatia and Montenegro. So here are my thoughts on photographing this amazing landscape…

I’m going to give this one an emphatic YES! While I take a lot of shots of surfer’s doing their thing, I always have my eye open for a potential image that would complement a room. It might be subtle colors, shapes or details that catch my eye, but…

By now you know my favorite color is blue: blue sky; blue ocean. But what happens when I take my toes out of the sand and venture to higher elevations? More blue than is reasonably imaginable! The clear air at altitude (8,000-10,000′)…

I grew up at swim meets. Weekends were a fun respite from long weekday hours following the black line.

Maybe it was because our heads were barely three feet away from our toes, but tide pooling was an all-encompassing endeavor. Think about it; we were actually encouraged to stick out our little finger and touch things – a wonderful interlude to the persistent instruction of “don’t;” which seemed to play on repeat during my early summers.

The color blue has always resonated with me. When I was a little kid, a favorite question was “what is your favorite color?” It has always been Blue. Not a particular shade, just “blue.” As a photographer that spends the majority of the time in and around water, many of my images have blue as the dominate color. Is this coincidence? Is there an attraction to the ocean because of its color? I’m not really sure how to answer this. But ponder it, I do.
