Serendipity and chance play a decisive part of this investigate. In this case, this is a composition found when looking out my hotel window. Cheers!
untitled (Anaheim, CA) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale - I have been continuing to think about what makes the wider format of the Samsung 4 cellphone camera images so intriguing. Perhaps it finally dawned on me and maybe I'm the last to figure this out but it's a similar wide ratio as to my high-def t.v.... Continue Reading →
untitled (San Francisco Airport, CA, January 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale.

Then I stumbled on an unfamiliar file folder of Europe from 2005. Yep, I am sometimes... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Schipol, Netherlands #6653) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale This is the stuff that drives me crazy. While developing a project, much like a cat who is stalking a mouse, I am easily distracted by a interesting ball of yarn. I have developed another almost complete set of photographs that I find interesting and that have... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Fiumicino, Italy #7224) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale More tweaking of the photographs for this project; contrast adjustments, cropping modifications and moving some photographs to the back-up folder. Started early discussions with one publisher and moved another into the reserve pile. It does not work for me when publishers start asking for a $250.00 fee just... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Schipol, Netherlands, #6659) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale As I continue to develop this project, I also gain more clarity as to what is inclusive and what might be eliminated. This is an interesting and iterative process and one that I enjoy. I am also at the point in time at which I have started... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Heathrow, England #1009) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale What initially attracted to me was the dramatic "Ansel Adams" lighting of the terminal that was in the state of construction and this front lighting seems to add a touch of mystery.
