Looking at one photograph at a time
I am a bit compulsive and even when I have few other things to do, I still deferred to work on the rough edit of this body of work. Which is now done. Whew! So the final tally is 190 photographs winnowed down from the original 4,000 photographs I made while in China. Not all... Continue Reading →
In my last update about my TechTransfer project I had discussed how this project was continuing to evolve. At that time I had converted 108 images to Black & White, and now I am up to 160 converted photographs. Musically I can sense a number of different riffs on this body of work so I...

A status report on the progress of my TechTransfer project that I discussed in my last post while considering an extensive body of photographic work I had created earlier in China.

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 →
Untitled (Snow Shovel, JinShan, January 2008) copyright Douglas Stockdale I recently posting about finding one of my landscape photographs at the top of both Bing Images and Google Images. After letting the shock of recognition wear off, I went back to both with the same search term, contemporary landscape photography, and started scrolling down further. Yikes, it... Continue Reading →
You might image my surprise when I was poking around Bing images last week in-between events when I did a search on "Contemporary Landscape Photography" to see what might come up and the very first image was....mine! Yep, the photograph above, Winter Field, JiaShan, that I created while staying in the city of JiaShan,... Continue Reading →
Untitled (PingHu) copyright 2008 Douglas Stockdale I have completed the first edit for my photobook project Flow of Light Brush the Shadows and have embarked into the early stages of developing the book dummy. Thus I am giving a lot of consideration to sequencing and image pairing to establish the flow or narrative aspects of the book. For this investigation of memory... Continue Reading →
