Looking at one photograph at a time
3rd Street LA Art district 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale I stated at the beginning of this year that I am now posting on Instagram (@douglasstockdale), so I am new to this platform.

Memory Pods, copyright 2016 Douglas Stockdale An update on my progress to prepare for Photo Independent regarding my print portfolio(s) as previous discussed. First, the idea that I had to quickly prepare a print portfolio for Photo Independent was quickly stressing me out. Needing to quickly select the prints (yikes, which ones out of the...

Memory Pods 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale I have just been notified that I am accepted into Photo Independent at the end of this month. I was anticipating that I would be included in the Photobook Independent, but I was just notified that I can also have a print portfolio in addition to my photobooks. Yikes,... Continue Reading →

San Diego, California, January 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale As I posted earlier about making local day trips this year, I was just outside of San Diego for a meeting and while waiting for everyone to show up, I did a brief walk-about. Signs, as photographed most poignantly by Walker Evans in the 1930's, continue to fascinate me.... Continue Reading →
Newport Beach, California, November 2015 copyright Douglas Stockdale Today is the first day of Spring, so time to say goodbye to old man Winter! For me, that means that I need to also say goodbye to the winter photographic weather, such as this day back in November that we were down in Newport Beach waiting... Continue Reading →
RSM, CA March 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale After just posting about photographing the rainy reflections found on my back patio, we soon had another round of rain which was followed by some steady drizzles.
