Looking at one photograph at a time
Hongqaio, night copyright Douglas Stockdale 2008 Sometimes I find that I get into a mode in which I assume what I see is what is 'really' there versus paying attention to what is actually there. Case in point is the night landscape, above, that I made many years ago in China and for some dang... Continue Reading →
Book-dummy, photo by Douglas Stockdale Regretfully, my Book Development workshop with Medium Photo has been delayed and is being pushed back to March 2022. This is not easy and I realize that some artists and photographers were planning on this event to help with a potential book development project. This workshop will follow the annual...

This morning I made another hike down into the Arroyo Trabuco, thinking that even with the small amount of rain in the mountains, that the creek would be running a little faster. It was.

I have already sold half of the edition, but then I placed the promotion and sales effort on Hold in 2019. I have come to... Continue Reading →

copyright Douglas Stockdale While creating my visual narrative Instant Nomad to help add some environmental context, e.g. where this part of the story is happening, I have been evaluating a series of moody urban landscape images.

Book-dummy copyright Douglas Stockdale I am very honored to announce my third annual book development workshop in conjunction with Medium Photo for next September. Last year this Medium Photo workshop, Developing a Creative Book, due to the COVID-19 pandemic had taken some interesting twists and turns. We ended up having a virtual workshop on Zoom...

copyright Douglas Stockdale How is it that a WWII/Korean War practice bombing/rocket range would end-up becoming a driving range for a demilitarized golf course?
