Looking at one photograph at a time
On my return trip from Shanghai to Los Angeles and home, I did a four hour layover in the Tokyo airport (and I do recommend Japan Airlines).

In retrospect after the earlier color 'people image' that I posted of the wedding couples in the Shanghai park, I realized that this image has a more Jeff Wall look to it. Again, not that this is what I was trying to do. And this was taken with one exposure at a decent shutter speed. For... Continue Reading →
After posting this image yesterday after using my Black and White mojo, I found myself thinking about how this would look if I stayed with a color image. Interesting image, no?

I did not have the ability to leave travel log comments on my blog after arriving in China, thus there is a two week gap in my writings. The trip into Shanghai from Hong Kong did not start on the right foot. One of my goals during this three trip, was to spend some time... Continue Reading →
Okay, I am now back from my three trip and I am ready to start working on my privately published folio on the Bad Trip - Sad Trip series, which I guess you could also call a Monograph.

Because that is going to be the issue that my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip (subsequently titled In Passing) is going to be published in!! I received notification from LensWork earlier this week while I was in JiaXing. I have scheduled the... Continue Reading →
Shanghai, China (#0745), copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale - Well, I have been doing some blog reads, non-stop, since returning from this recent assignment in China. I gotta admit, I missed them! Not great internet reception in China, especially for any kinds of social media. LoL Seems that Paul Butzi just got back from China as... Continue Reading →
South Lake, JiaXing, China I left Shanghai this morning and I am currently at my four hour layover in the Tokyo Airport and guess what? I can access my blog again!! You might say that I have a few things to post and comment about. But the first is the 'radio silence' of all blogs in China. I... Continue Reading →
