Looking at one photograph at a time
Yesterday after posting the singular image for the urban landscape in which the Restoration in progress sign was posted, I kept mulling over how I might want to use it. So serendipity strikes again; this morning while watching Good Morning America with my cup of coffee, one of the segments was about how to survive the... Continue Reading →
With the recent COVID-19 events, a San Diego gallery, A Photographers Eye, has announced a juried on-line exhibition, Living and Photographing in the Time of COVID-19, which has caught my interest as something immediate to work on. The submission is limited to 5 images, but in parallel, nothing to keep me from developing more images... Continue Reading →
I am very excited to announce that after a gestation period of about 10 years, my project Gardening For Ordnance is a featured solo exhibition by Fabrik Projects (Los Angeles), a virtual & exclusive exhibition available for a short time on Artsy.net! Gardening for Ordnance examines how a distant war that occurred 70 years ago can... Continue Reading →
So if I am in an exhibition that just after it's hung, the city of L.A. and State of CA shut all of the galleries down due to COVID-19, so that nobody attends or visits, does that "exhibition" get included in my CV? Did that exhibition then really happen? My current situation of one hand... Continue Reading →
So back to a black & white photograph for this urban landscape, #5 in a short "COVID-19 what to do with myself so I don't have huge anxiety" series. Or something like that. I had pre-visualized this spot along my walk in both color as well as black & white, and at this moment during... Continue Reading →
So our COVID-19 saga continues, thus my working title for this photograph is Turbulent Times, and the fourth in this daily series, with #3 here (Photo #3). I foresaw the potential for this photograph in both color as well as black & white, mostly due to the monotone colors of the foreground weeds. You can... Continue Reading →
For a group of local photographers during these COVID-19 days as a slight diversion, we are posting five photographs during the week for others to provide comments on. We have setup a private Facebook group to facilitate this which anybody can easy emulate. FYI, why "private" is only to keep the discussion within the small... Continue Reading →
Copyright Douglas Stockdale - While unwinding from all of the COVID-19 stuff going and walking in the adjacent Trabuco Arroyo, I keep noticing all of the old growth trees in the canyon. I think that this one is a sycamore tree that seems to be slowly falling down and showing its age. Even while preparing... Continue Reading →
Yes, with the COVID-19 I am working from "home". Just as I have for the past twenty-five years. Probably more common for many artists and those working for virtual companies (and I am doing both). Fortunately, my studio is also in my home up on the second floor with a nice view out the back.... Continue Reading →
I will have to say that the COVID-19 concerns is taking an emotional toll and one solution to my anxiety is to take a long walk in the adjacent canyon. Since I was one of the few people walking (or bike riding) in the canyon, I was doing my part for social distancing. Minimal social... Continue Reading →
