"The sea is near my house. If the wind isn't blowing in it takes me less then 20 minutes on bicycle to reach it.
Unlike the subjects for my portraits the sea has always plenty of time. It never comments, is never unwilling, has no retouche demands. Only one thing, It just can't sit still. Everything moves, all the time. Even the clouds on their way to somewhere don't pause.
I shoot these seascapes on film with a pinhole camera. It's aperture is F235. On a bright day that can still result in an exposure time of one second and when cloudy exposure times rapidly increase."
