Looking at one photograph at a time
Middle Ground, Book Dummy two, February 2018 copyright Douglas Stockdale while on our ski vacation last week and the drive back over the past two days (yep, road trip from Southern California to Colorado and back again), I had a great opportunity to think about my various photographic projects, especially the current photobook that I...

Sandstone Creek, Vail, February 2018 copyright Douglas Stockdale This past week was a holiday vacation for a bit of skiing in Colorado, which was a ton of fun. We had great skiing conditions as well as some "braille" skiing in almost white-out conditions, which was a bit tough when I choose the wrong trail and... Continue Reading →
Super Blue Blood Moon, January 2018 copyright Douglas Stockdale So I set the alarm for this morning to see the lunar eclipse of the Blue moon that would create the Blood Moon this morning, then set up the tripod as I expected a longer exposure. A bit too long of an exposure as probably the... Continue Reading →

Hasselblad 500 C/M January 2018 copyright Douglas Stockdale This is not the post that I had intended for today, as I was hit again with the Hasselblad Jamnation blues. Yesterday afternoon I picked up my 500 C/M after it was "repaired" and after some back and forth last night, loaded the A12 back with some... Continue Reading →
Tijeras Creek trail, December 2017* copyright Douglas Stockdale Captured on a day at the end of December last year as I began to experiment and play with the walks I was starting to embark on. Thought this might make a nice transition in my seven day Black & White Challenge from the beach back onto... Continue Reading →
Beach Study, Crystal Cove State Park, December* 2017 copyright Douglas Stockdale While working on my next beach study for my black & white challenge, I started to see something interesting in the abstract shapes. Somewhat like finding faces or animals in the cloud formations. When I did a 180 degree inversion of the image, I realized I... Continue Reading →
Beach, Crystal Cove State Park, December* 2017 copyright Douglas Stockdale - This seaweed and sand composition is the day three post for my Facebook black & white challenge. On my Instagram (@douglasstockdale) and Facebook post, I provided no explanation, and of course, no people are included in this photograph. As you might suspect by now,... Continue Reading →
