Memory Pods, copyright 2016 Douglas Stockdale An update on my progress to prepare for Photo Independent regarding my print portfolio(s) as previous discussed.

Memory Pods 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale I have just been notified that I am accepted into Photo Independent at the end of this month.

And of course the center piece for the card is the Christmas photograph. It has been our practice to not include photographs of ourselves, but rather... Continue Reading →
A-41, Tattenhall, England (Roadside Remembrance) copyright Douglas Stockdale On my list of to-do's is to find some funding to support the publication and exhibition of my roadside remembrance memorials project. Here in the US, there are a couple of avenues to journey down in order to obtain a grant (e.g. gift, not a loan) and at... Continue Reading →
