Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Memory pod 02 May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale I am continuing to work with the Snapseed app and my memory pod photographs. This is another interesting image for me that I developed yesterday, but I wonder about the composition and what draws me in? If the project is about memory pods as a... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pod 03 May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale After downloading the Lomo Camera FX Free app for my Samsung 4, my PX buddy Jim McKinniss also suggested that I check out another free Samsung 4 app from Nik called Snapseed. I saw, I liked, I downloaded (my spin on an old Latin saying).... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale The power of suggestion! I never know where an idea may come from.

I am intrigued in this variant of portraiture and I have been making a series of these passenger portraits as a possible part of my Instant Nomad series. Cheers!

Untitled (Hunt Valley, Maryland, March 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Late last month I posted an urban landscape photograph made from this same vantage point.
