Looking at one photograph at a time
Nevada State Route 159 (Randy), 2007 copyright of Douglas Stockdale How do you finish a photographic project? I am begining to think that I don't know this answer. I guess that there are many ways to find closure on something, whether it is events in your personal life or during a photographic project. Then there are those things... Continue Reading →
I am working on the photographs from my Roadside Remembrance Memorials series and I find myself thinking about the essence of these various sites. The way things are progressing I have completed a major redo of a half dozen images from the series and I will probably also re-publish my Blurb book-dummy as well. That being... Continue Reading →
Another day of making more tonal adjustments for mu series In Passing on the Harman FB Mp papers. (FYI; 11/18/09 Update: Second edition of In Passing is now published and available here.) What I am realizing is that I am not detecting the slightly greenish hue in the printed image until the paper really dries down. When I... Continue Reading →
In Passing, Speical Edition, Artist Proof (A/P) I by Douglas Stockdale Seems like a number of things have been coming together this week.

Okay, all of the last weeks topsy turvey stuff has kinda subsided and now I'm trying to get an even keel. I just did a second check of my Critical Mass submission and I don't see any needed changes. Thus I am taking a little breather from my series Re:Development, having completed an update to my web... Continue Reading →
Industrial ReDevelopment #2, photograph copyright of Douglas Stockdale Today I completed my submission for Photoludica's annual Critical Mass (version 2008). Since I had already complete my series Re:Development, I just had to tweak some of the triptychs in the series, including this one, Industrial ReDevelopment #2. More about this image and my artistic statement, below. First,... Continue Reading →
Hutong Re:Development #10, photograph copyright of Douglas Stockdale After I had completed the assembly of the 40 triptychs for my series Re:Development, I knew that I needed to give the "finished" series some breathing room. Set them aside and work on some other things and then come back to them with a little bit of... Continue Reading →
While trying to resolve some editorial issues for the other on-line journal I write, The Photo Exhibit, I decided to break out and start another on-line journal about photography books, called The Photo Book, http://www.thephotobook.wordpress.com Not much there yet, but over the next week, I will start exporting all of my writings about photographic books...
