Entanglement, number 1766-4, copyright 2024 Douglas Stockdale - Towards the end of last year, I was trading emails with another alt-photo artist about my Photolucida Critical Mass 2023 and 2024 Finalist recognition.

Anthropogenic Crisis No. 134834 (Melting City) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale – This last weekend we were in Boulder Colorado for a family wedding and I was just one of the many guests who brought cameras to document this wonderful event.
