Looking at one photograph at a time
Urban Redevelopment #10, 2008, copyright of Douglas Stockdale Well from the ashes of defeat, a really nice post-submission group exhibit. I was "juried In" to the group exhibit, UnCritical Mass, by Liz Kuball, who also had an UnCritical Mass submission. And from a review of those of us that did not get pass the first cut,...

Nevada State Route 159 (Randy), 2007 copyright of Douglas Stockdale How do you finish a photographic project? I am begining to think that I don't know this answer. I guess that there are many ways to find closure on something, whether it is events in your personal life or during a photographic project. Then there are those things... Continue Reading →
I am working on the photographs from my Roadside Remembrance Memorials series and I find myself thinking about the essence of these various sites. The way things are progressing I have completed a major redo of a half dozen images from the series and I will probably also re-publish my Blurb book-dummy as well. That being... Continue Reading →

Okay, all of the last weeks topsy turvey stuff has kinda subsided and now I'm trying to get an even keel. I just did a second check of my Critical Mass submission and I don't see any needed changes. Thus I am taking a little breather from my series Re:Development, having completed an update to my web... Continue Reading →
Industrial ReDevelopment #2, photograph copyright of Douglas Stockdale Today I completed my submission for Photoludica's annual Critical Mass (version 2008). Since I had already complete my series Re:Development, I just had to tweak some of the triptychs in the series, including this one, Industrial ReDevelopment #2. More about this image and my artistic statement, below. First,... Continue Reading →
Hutong Re:Development #10, photograph copyright of Douglas Stockdale After I had completed the assembly of the 40 triptychs for my series Re:Development, I knew that I needed to give the "finished" series some breathing room. Set them aside and work on some other things and then come back to them with a little bit of... Continue Reading →
