Looking at one photograph at a time
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...

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 →
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...

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 →
Untitled (Evidence #Evidence 081940-02-01-01) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale One of my favorite photographic phone apps is Snapseed. Earlier this year I did one of my upgrades for the app, but then realized that the updated did not include the Grunge filter setting. Bummer. I enjoyed playing with the possibilities of this particular filter set as... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Parc Saint Cloud, France) Copyright Douglas Stockdale 2010 - Just recently I was asked if I had any photographs that investigate the city of Paris, which it turns out, I do. Regretfully, when I was in Paris, I was not inspired to work on a personal project that included Paris as a location, so... Continue Reading →
Neighborhoods (LA, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Recently there has been a spat of articles recently published about the necessity of artists to "brand" themselves to improve their presence in the art world, which of course includes photography. This of course means that the galleries can increase the price of the artists works, which should... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Budding Memory Pods, March 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I posted this same image, but a version with a very distinct blue hue. After having this matted blue version on my work bench for a while, it dawned on me that this was a nice Singular Image, but it would not... Continue Reading →
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...
