Signage, Arroyo Trabuco trail, January* 2018 copyright Douglas Stockdale While walking the Arroyo Trabuco trail I have noticed a number of really deteriorated signs with a wire mesh that appeared to have covered the missing signage. All of these were in really bad condition, thus I could only speculate what was there. This seemed to provide... Continue Reading →
WARNING!! UXO
UXO sign, Plano Trabuco Target Area, January 2018 copyright Douglas Stockdale While on one of my morning walks, I came across a posted sign for UXO that I had not realized was on the Arroyo Trabuco trail. A nice bit of serendipity as photographing this walking project reminded me of another photo project; my Gardening for... Continue Reading →
Chugging along
untitled (Kapalua, Maui) copyright 2013, Douglas Stockdale.

This also means that I might need to make some changes in my overall workflow, including the film scanning on the... Continue Reading →

In a post about this image, I had concluded that I needed to photograph this composition again in the early afternoon sunlight. Which I thought today was a good day to do... Continue Reading →
Photographing with a purpose
Copyright 2008 Douglas Stockdale I have been looking at the photographs that I made in 2008 for my project Places in Between, which in retrospect was not all that well thought out. It was part of SoFoBoMo, so I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to photograph, but the concept was not... Continue Reading →
Rancho Santa Margarita – work in progress
copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale I just realized that it has been a few years since I last scanned one of my film transparencies with the Nikon L8000 film scanner. Rusty skills, but thank goodness, it is quickly coming back. Perhaps much like riding a bicycle. This is a 1x scan resolution and I am not... Continue Reading →
