Looking at one photograph at a time
Copyright Douglas Stockdale While munching on the Christmas morning Apricot Pastries (thanks Kellie!), it is a good time to reflect on the past year. 2012 has it's ups and downs as well as going a little sideways. So in the spirit of honking my own horn, very happy to report: The most noteworthy occasion in... Continue Reading →
Lest I Forget - Ciociaria copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale All I can say, I had some really good intentions, but while I was attempting to update my http://www.douglasstockdale.com web site with a different mix of photographs from my book Ciociaria, I made some really bad programming errors.

CDG - Douglas Stockdale 2012 It is interesting that while I am in the process of vetting one project that another related project gains clarity (convergence). Or maybe said in another way, as I refine the concept of a project and gain a better understanding of the images that I believe should be included, the images that... Continue Reading →
mile and a half in - Douglas Stockdale 2012 I think some people loath them, others luv 'em, and what I am talking about is the use of running machines, those stationary treadmills that enable you to literally go nowhere fast.
