Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (budding memory pods) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I had posted that I was finding myself being drawn back into my Memory Pods project. The photograph I posted was pretty close to a straight documentary image (which in retrospect is pretty boring at that). I was interested investigating the start of the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (#120 Memory Pods) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Last year I found myself photographing of all things, plants. Not a genre that that I have been drawn to before, but while messing around with the macro focusing capabilities of my Samsung 4, I started to investigate some aloe vera plants that had gone to seed in...

Sidewalk Superintendent (Acuto, Italy, 2010) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Okay, where to start? This photograph was made while I was working on my Ciociaria project, but this image did not make the final edit into the photobook. Nevertheless, it has always intrigued me as this scene is just a little slice of urban life, almost universal... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Cheesman Park, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I posted another vision of this photograph, one that has a little more dramatic interpretation of this same composition. Many might consider this the more representative version, not entirely banal, but with some metaphoric vestiges. This is part of my investigation of memory, how... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Humboldt St, Cheesman Park District, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale There is something about the circa 1910 window casements that connects with me, probably as this reminds me so much of my Grandparents house in western Pennsylvania. A window makes a wonderful metaphoric subject, but as a genre, it is on the edge... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Cheesman Park, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale While walking through Cheesman Park in the greater Denver area, I could not help but notice this pair of benches under this very mature tree. I am not sure of the age of this tree or these benches as to how long they have been dutifully... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Humboldt Street, February 2015), copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale My first image of my Cheesman Park District series, an older area located in Denver Colorado. I am attempting to investigate this region of historic Denver as to how those who live here preserve memories through the built structures, thus indirectly preserving the past memories, while...

Untitled (Cheesman Park marker) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This last week I was on vacation with my family in Colorado mostly doing some skiing in Vail. Okay, perhaps a bit of photography too, but more about the photography in Vail in a later post. Of interest to me was an opportunity to check out the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Zachary, High Desert, Arizona, November 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale On occasion, I am blessed by serendipity. This young guy had been zooming around and over the rocks and various trails. Then he paused, ever so momentary. Cheers
Untitled (High Desert, Oak Creek, November 2014) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Last November in Oak Creek, Arizona. Mixed emotions, many memories here over the past couple of decades. This represents an open ended question for me. So I will see how this progresses. Cheers!
