Landscape, London Park Copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale You would think walking through London, there would be more than enough to photograph and all sorts of potential projects to initiate. Well, so far for me, there is not that much. Yet. Not far from my hotel is a small park with a memorial for both President F.D. Roosevelt (standing... Continue Reading →
English Autumn
English Autumn copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale On the late afternoon train from Wrexham (Wales) to London, I had passed well into England when the train made a brief stop (not sure where) and I recognized that the light breeze moving the leaves would create a mildly abstract composition with a longer shutter speed. So I stepped down the aperture a couple of more... Continue Reading →
Ciociaria – Porciano
Porciano Copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale We had just started a nice conversation about their small town, Porciano, perched high on this hill side when the rain started to drizzle, so I quickly asked to take their photograph and they agreed, and they then moved to this comfortable position amongst themselves in the door way.

Italian Landscape – Morolo
Morolo Copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale While working on my project Ciociaria, I had the opportunity to wander through the area surrounding the hill-side city of Morolo.

Milano Fashion Week – an update
Accessorize Copyright 2010 by Douglas Stockdale Last year after initiating my project Milan Fashion Week, it quickly began to look like this little project was the project that couldn't. While I was after transferring the digital files from my portable to my desktop computer last September, I somehow lost all of my files and was only able to recover part... Continue Reading →
Rome – FCO VIP Lounge
Rome Airport - FCO - VIP Lounge copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale I am back from almost a month in Europe, part Holiday and part Day Job, with some photography worked into the edges. I am still working on a somewhat stealth project about business travel, somewhat akin to my earlier Insomnia: Hotel Noir photo-project. As titles go, similar... Continue Reading →
Environmental Portrait – Mon Bistrot
Mon Bistrot, Boulogne, France copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale Arriving early, I had the opportunity to survey the restaurant unencumbered and noted how they had created a warm and inviting place. Perhaps they had not envisioned this composition, but I did. Now a nice memory, especially for the nice mix of crab and grapefruit as the appetizer, unusual but very tasty. Best regards, Douglas
Industrial Landscape – Frankfurt
Frankfurt International Airport, Germany copyright 2010 Douglas Stockdale Walking through the Frankfurt International airport, I glanced to my left and stopped dead in my tracks. What a beautiful sight! I am not sure why I find these industrial construction sites so fascinating, but I do. I think I can trace my current interest in these industrial... Continue Reading →
