Looking at one photograph at a time
Corona (From my series A Sideways Glance) I completed the first draft of my artist statement for the series A Sideways Glance and posted it on my web site here.

Expressway Heights (Insomnia: Hotel Noir) 2007 copyright Douglas Stockdale - I am in the middle of a bunch of multi-tasking tasks and I am afraid that I am not getting much of anything accomplished.

Shanghai, China (#0745), copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale - Well, I have been doing some blog reads, non-stop, since returning from this recent assignment in China. I gotta admit, I missed them! Not great internet reception in China, especially for any kinds of social media. LoL Seems that Paul Butzi just got back from China as... Continue Reading →
