Nevada State Randy, Route 179, (Randy) copyright Douglas Stockdale Reading the recent (2015) October issue of PDN magazine, which is their annual photobook issue, I found myself thinking back to my real first photographic project, a series of roadside remembrance memorials. As a quick recap, it is a series that I became very fascinated by in late... Continue Reading →
Friday Night Lights – action on the field
Untitled (Zach, San Clemente, CA) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale For last Friday's touch football game, as I posted here, I made the switch up to the the larger Canon 5D MarkIII (Mk3), which has a image sensor with a very wide ISO capability in conjunction with using a trip-pod. Btw, since I had acquired the Mk3... Continue Reading →
Getting back on track
Untitled (Garden District, St Charles trolley way, New Orleans, LA October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Today I seem to have a case of the blase, so I feel a off. Usually one good cure (for me) is to jump back in the fray. Thus a great reason to finish the development of this image... Continue Reading →
Friday Night Lights – Flag girl
Untitled (Ella, San Clemente, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This is the third in my series discussing my Friday Night Lights photographic adventures. As I stated in my last post, I made a camera change for last night's flag football game. Still the same relatively slow zoom lens, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L... Continue Reading →
Somewhere over Oz
Untitled (Michigan, September 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I was surprised at the end of my photographic tweaking as to how this photograph is pulling me in. To be honest, it was one of series of grab shots that I made on approach while landing at Detroit Metro airport. Having made this landing recently, I... Continue Reading →
Starting line
Untitled (DTW, Michigan, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This is a follow on post from yesterday, as that photograph and this one were made within a minute of each other. The overall appearance may differ as I tweaked each image as a singular image. These two were not meant to be shown together to investigate... Continue Reading →
Paris – the party Seine
Untitled (the party Seine, Paris, 2010) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale In 2010 I had an opportunity to be in Paris during the summer and found a rite of summer (or anytime that is warm enough) that is frequently celebrated in this city; partying along the banks of the river Seine, thus the punster title of...

Flying by the seat of my pants
Untitled (Over Oz, Michigan, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I keep getting asked how I am able to create my interesting aerial landscapes that I share here, such as this one and the one I posted yesterday. So here is the story about how I photograph landscapes while flying by the seat of my pants,... Continue Reading →
Serious fun
Untitled (Dallas, TX 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I think that for me it helps from time to time to just have fun. Sometimes messing around leads to an interesting project, as it allows my right brain to do what it does best; lurk, watch, listen, dream, free associate, and allow creativity to creep into...

OCMA update
Untitled (OCMA administration office, Newport Beach, CA 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Last weekend was interesting time for me at the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA). First, the Deputy Director had selected one of my photographs to hang in the administration space, which I dropped off in the morning. This is the second opportunity... Continue Reading →
