Looking at one photograph at a time
Last Spring there was a conversation that Paul Butzi initiated about essentially either going wider (broader context) or deeper (more in-depth) regarding your own artistic development. I believe that this concept can be applied in a variety of ways regarding artistic development. As I continue my series A Sideways Glance, I find that as I look, see and... Continue Reading →
Murrieta (In Passing series) copyright Douglas Stockdale - It was an unusual morning, being overcast at home, then on my drive to Riverside in the morning the sky turned to a light haze, which was followed by a cloud bank and subsequently open sky and then finally into a light fog.

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 →

Four Palms (from the series: A Sideways Glance)

In the past, with a new lens, camera or other photographic gear, I would do a "dry run" evaluation. That is I would initially use the new equipment withou film... Continue Reading →
Working home office, I-15 (from the series: A Sideways Glance) I have recovered enough from my viral infection to be back on the road again and to take up working on this series. Yesterday was more of a survival day on the road, least I worry about this series. But hopefully I was doing more observing than... Continue Reading →
Skateboard Memorial (from the series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) One of the nice things about showing your images to your friends, in this case the collaborative photoblog Stills that I am a member of, you get wonderful feedback, on both technical and esthetics concerns. A reoccuring comment for my images, especially if taken of the urban landscape,... Continue Reading →
