Looking at one photograph at a time
Looks like summer is approaching an end, or probably for most places other than SoCal, which 'summer' may not end until sometime into late October or even November. It's amazing how things heat up here in the 'fall'. Nevertheless, for a recent virtual photographic critique, since many of the others were showing their summer beach... Continue Reading →
With the drought conditions again in California, I was wondering how the creek was flowing in the Arroyo Trabuco, which fortunately is about a 15 minute walk from my front door. It is a run off of the adjacent Saddleback Mountain, not too far upstream (more than I would want to walk) part of the... Continue Reading →
As a urban landscape photographer, sometimes I just can't pass up a great photographic opportunity, whether its a a cliche or not.

And I might as well be clear from the get-go that the photo associated with this post, above, was not made with my new Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra 5G; more about that in a minute. Yesterday morning is one of my walk days with this... Continue Reading →
I am doing some evaluations of the new website Photobook Collective that is meant help everyone buy and sell photobooks, new, used or somewhere in between. Which is ideal for those who have some photobooks that are in their library collection that are no longer a good fit or a place to let folks know... Continue Reading →
Middle Ground, limited edition artist book, copyright Douglas Stockdale I am very excited to 'relaunch' the selling of Middle Ground, my limited edition artist book that I self-published in 2018. 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 →
Middle Ground series Copyright Douglas Stockdale First, I have to admit that this has been an interesting year, with the start of this horrific COVID-19 pandemic, the need to stay at home during quarantine and eliminating most social contacts.
