THE GREAT STORM Thanks to all those who sent messages of concern after hearing of the storm, Cyclone Klaus, which hit south west France last saturday 24th January. We are all fine, and thankfully this part of the area wasn't too badly affected - mostly trees down and no electricity or water for a few days. Southern Landes and the Biarritz area is already pretty much back to normal - many areas were thankfully untouched but even those that were damaged have displayed an uncanny aptitude for self repair and are already healing, once again beautiful. Thanks again.

ARTICLE IN FRENCH NATIONAL NEWSPAPER In November journalist Jean Marc Flipo spent a day with Jonathan writing an article destined for French daily newspaper Sud Ouest. The full page interview covered Jonathan's passion for the sea, his decision to make the south of France his home, his influences and of course his work. 'Up until this point my profile as a photographer was much larger in the rest of Europe and the US than in France,' Jonathan says, 'but the interview with this newspaper has generated a great deal of interest in my work here. The emails and calls I've had since it appeared have been very positive, particularly about the body of work I've achieved in and around the area I live - the French are very proud of their country and the beautiful and varied countryside and coastline it offers, so they seem very pleased that this 'Rosbif' has chosen to live and photograph here!'
