Looking at one photograph at a time
I am very excited to announce that after a gestation period of about 10 years, my project Gardening For Ordnance is a featured solo exhibition by Fabrik Projects (Los Angeles), a virtual & exclusive exhibition available for a short time on Artsy.net! Gardening for Ordnance examines how a distant war that occurred 70 years ago can... Continue Reading →
So if I am in an exhibition that just after it's hung, the city of L.A. and State of CA shut all of the galleries down due to COVID-19, so that nobody attends or visits, does that "exhibition" get included in my CV? Did that exhibition then really happen? My current situation of one hand... Continue Reading →
So back to a black & white photograph for this urban landscape, #5 in a short "COVID-19 what to do with myself so I don't have huge anxiety" series. Or something like that. I had pre-visualized this spot along my walk in both color as well as black & white, and at this moment during... Continue Reading →
So our COVID-19 saga continues, thus my working title for this photograph is Turbulent Times, and the fourth in this daily series, with #3 here (Photo #3). I foresaw the potential for this photograph in both color as well as black & white, mostly due to the monotone colors of the foreground weeds. You can... Continue Reading →

I think that this one is a sycamore tree that seems to be slowly falling down and showing its age. Even while preparing... Continue Reading →
Yes, with the COVID-19 I am working from "home". Just as I have for the past twenty-five years. Probably more common for many artists and those working for virtual companies (and I am doing both). Fortunately, my studio is also in my home up on the second floor with a nice view out the back.... Continue Reading →
I will have to say that the COVID-19 concerns is taking an emotional toll and one solution to my anxiety is to take a long walk in the adjacent canyon. Since I was one of the few people walking (or bike riding) in the canyon, I was doing my part for social distancing. Minimal social... Continue Reading →
Copyright Douglas Stockdale - I have been writing a series of articles about landscape photography, which I think is equally applicable to nature or urban landscape genres. Most recently I had been surprised by some of my photographic results and then with that new knowledge, I was able to then able to pre-visualize and photograph similar... Continue Reading →
Over the past week, I published two articles, experimental/play and covid-19 impact, in conjunction with using a new series of photographs that I have been creating. I am trying to get my head around this new series of experimental photographs that appear like an organic versions of the Abstract Expressionist movement form the 1950's and... Continue Reading →
