Looking at one photograph at a time
Culver Exit - San Diego Freeway (From the originally titled project: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale I don't know how long this tiny memorial has been hiding in the shadows of these pine trees, but it is one of those small memorials hiding in plain site. I saw it for the first... Continue Reading →
Wildflowers (from the original titled project Bad Trip - Sad Trip) copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale The modifications to this image were two fold, the obvious (to me in retrospect) was to lighten the overly dark upper sky (bring back the blue slider in the B&W adjustment layer) and the subtle (after last nights dinner of leftover fried Crow) was adjusting the shadows (curve adjustment layer) to...

Insomnia (from the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir) Earlier this year I had submitted images for the Texas Photographic Society (TPS) 15th National Competition. Although I did not get juried into this exhibit, I did become a member of TPS, and you can find my link on their members page. I think that you will get... Continue Reading →

I saw there was fog also up in on... Continue Reading →
Tollroad Hillside (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) The whole realization that I have been deferring my printing of my images was interesting. In checking back, there were a couple of images from my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip that I had not printed yet. When I went back to the unprinted... Continue Reading →
Heart of Shells (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) Last spring I had read a couple of photo-blogs in which it was observed that photographers were actually printing less and less of their images. Photograhpers and artists were going straight to the internet (gallery) with little and sometimes no actually hard copy printing. ... Continue Reading →
Fishing (from the series A Sideways Glance) An image made earlier in the week, but I have fine tuned it today for this post. I enjoy flyfishing and as many times as I have driven by the dinky associated man-made lake that this rock sign is beckoning the passing drivers to, I have never had any inclinication...
