Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Hunt Valley, Maryland, March 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Late last month I posted an urban landscape photograph made from this same vantage point. These two photographs have a very different appearance that might be best explained that they originated from two different digital capture systems. The photograph above is from my Canon 5D,...

untitled (Ranch Santa Margarita, CA 04-03-14) copyright Douglas Stockdale - I am always amazed as how one one thing seems to lead to another. I have been a fan of Bill Jacobson's photographs and I curated his photobook A Series of Human Decisions into the recent 10x10 American Photobooks exhibition in Tokyo last year. Prior...

Untitled (Hunt Valley, Maryland, March 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale While on a business trip earlier this week to Maryland, I continued to investigate the found urban landscape. Serendipity and chance play a decisive part of this investigate. In this case, this is a composition found when looking out my hotel window. Cheers!
untitled (Anaheim, CA) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale - I have been continuing to think about what makes the wider format of the Samsung 4 cellphone camera images so intriguing. Perhaps it finally dawned on me and maybe I'm the last to figure this out but it's a similar wide ratio as to my high-def t.v.... Continue Reading →
Pine Lake, copyright 2013 artist photobook by Douglas Stockdale I just posted this same announcement on The PhotoBook blog, but I am really excited to announce that I recently arranged with photo-eye (Santa Fe, NM) book store to sell the last copies of the edition for my Pine Lake artist photobook. I believe that in... Continue Reading →

Now thinking that the term panoramic implies too wide of a perspective for these photographs. Image cropped to a traditional 10x8 format below. Also thinking I should also consider a 6x6 square image... Continue Reading →
untitled (Aliso Viejo, CA, January 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. Another interesting series of events that appear to be leading into a new photobook project. First, I have been using the wide format Samsung IV camera-phone to see what things looked like in these almost panoramic photographs. Then I was inspired to take some "documentary"...

untitled (Bluewater Shore, maquette interior) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Attending the 2014 LA Art Book Fair with regard to spending some show and tell time with the Bluewater Shore maquette was a bit anticlimactic. First, I attended on a Friday knowing that for these three day weekend events, Friday should be a little slower with... Continue Reading →
untitled (Bluewater Shore, interior with binding) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale A little update on my Bluewater Shore artist book. After the really nice feedback from friends while at photo l.a. a couple of weeks ago, my plan was to proceed to the next generation of the maquette and have it ready for another round of...

untitled (San Francisco Airport, CA, January 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. While looking at these two alternatives as potentials for my Instant Nomad series, the panoramic above is more in line with my intent. With a traditional format camera, I would have definitely wanted to step back to include the multifaceted perspective. Each window is... Continue Reading →
