Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Fiuggi Terme Nightscape) 2010 copyright Douglas Stockdale Where as the majority of the photographs that I post will probably be linked to a project at some point in time, I suspect that this photograph may not. Hopefully not a secret as one of the reasons for posting my work is self-promotion, eh? For me,... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Fiuggi Terme) copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale I had noted this table and cover on the grounds of a hotel in Fiuggi Terme during most of the Summer it was covered with green leaves and people were enjoying a conversation in the shade.

Instant Nomad (France) copyright Douglas Stockdale While in France, I continued to develop my concept of the traveling business man as an extension of my earlier project Hotel Noir. My goal with Hotel Noir was to investigate a specific place that was a transitional site, a city that I was working at over an extended period of time and staying... Continue Reading →
Instant Nomad (England) 2012 Copyright Douglas Stockdale I am experimenting with another way to create a narrative exploring what I do for work. Last year it seemed that I was working on two if not three alternaives, but now I am thinking that there may not be any issue with mashing these together. Moving away from... Continue Reading →
Copyright Douglas Stockdale As I look ahead to 2013, I find that the photograph that I made earlier in JiaShan China with the lone man in a small boat to be wonderfully symbolic of the feelings that I am having. I am leaving the old (year, ways, thoughts, past, memories) on an unknown journey under... Continue Reading →
