Looking at one photograph at a time
Sustaining Testimony ...I will be traveling extensively tomorrow (Thursday) and I hope to make the Photographers Exchange in Irvine, so this is my entry for then. Oh, and I have yet to make the four prints from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip to discuss. This is the venue that I have to get... Continue Reading →
Tragedy, copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale ...I am currently reading the book Photo Projects by Chris Dickie in which he writes about a number of photographers who have had the "determination to succeed" with completing their projects.

Cascade, Placerita Canyon copyright Douglas Stockdale Over the weekend I was informed that the four photographs that I had framed for the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) were hung. Except these are on long term loan to the Director of Development for her office, which regretfully is not in the Museum gallery, but the... Continue Reading →
Deterioration ...it was the right intent, but just the wrong implementation for the naming of the earlier image from the post about Santa Rosa Plateau I made a couple of days ago.

I posted about one yesterday, and I found my self working on the new stuff again, so I am able to discuss this image. Yesterday, I started a dialog about how I choose... Continue Reading →
Santa Suzanna, copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale ...always a tough decision, work on the new stuff that is fresh and exciting, or get the back-up, web-hosting and filing completed for the earlier images. Okay, so this time the winner is the images that I made a couple of days ago on the Santa Suzanna Pass Road... Continue Reading →
Meditation Annex, copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale ....While preparing my othe blog entry about ArtBiz101, I realize it would be good to have a "relevent" image. I also realized that my relevent image would be best from my stelth project number Three. So I guess it was time to come out of hiding with what will... Continue Reading →
Nocturnal Watch ..When I prepare to do a business strategy, which is the top of the order for getting a business going, I really start with my personal strategy. What ever we do, we need to be grounded in our personal basics; who I am, what I represent, what do I want to do, where do we want to... Continue Reading →
