Looking at one photograph at a time
Mon Bistrot, Boulogne, France copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale Arriving early, I had the opportunity to survey the restaurant unencumbered and noted how they had created a warm and inviting place. Perhaps they had not envisioned this composition, but I did. Now a nice memory, especially for the nice mix of crab and grapefruit as the appetizer, unusual but very tasty. Best regards, Douglas
Frankfurt International Airport, Germany copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale Walking through the Frankfurt International airport, I glanced to my left and stopped dead in my tracks. What a beautiful sight! I am not sure why I find these industrial construction sites so fascinating, but I do. I think I can trace my current interest in these industrial... Continue Reading →

It has the ear marks of a place that is neither one or the other, but came about over... Continue Reading →
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale One of the benefits of spending a lot of my time in Europe is that when I return to Southern California, the landscape and terrain takes on a subtle strangeness. I believe that my assumptions have been disrupted and I start to see my surrounderings from another perspective and maybe what I have... Continue Reading →
House cleaning, Fiuggi copyright Douglas Stockdale 2010 Ciociaria - The name of a traditional region of Central Italy without a defined border nor historical identity.

Salon, Napa, copyright Douglas Stockdale While in Euope and posting actively on this blog, realized that I have been writing and posting on Singular Images for over three years. I guess a couple of years ago, I would have been counting the days to make an anniversary post, but some things have changed since then.... Continue Reading →
Mon Bistrot, Boulogne, France copyright Douglas Stockdale 2010 I have been still thinking about Eugene Atget and what he might be seeing if he was walking Paris and it's outskirts.
