Kyiv (Remembering Guernica) Number II, copyright 2020/2022 Douglas Stockdale This is the second version of my Kyiv (Remembering Guernica) artwork, a slight modification of what I published yesterday.

Anthropogenic Crisis No. 122955 (Vail) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale The road trip diary continues (day one, Zion here), as the real destination for our one-week vacation in Colorado was the town of Vail.

A potentially interesting photographic opportunity seemed to be in the making. Where as the Restricted signage at this Vista... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was a bit weird. I was attempting to add the above photograph to my IG as a part of a three-post discussion of my short walk down the Arroyo Trabuco while spending time at the creek. The photo appeared to have been posted on Instagram (IG), and then it did not. Poof! Disappeared. Huh?... Continue Reading →
I must admit that while staging a lot of photographs on my international travels, some of these seemed to work out pretty well while others not-so-much. At the time I thought that is hotel set-up was pretty cool. This room had a weird layout that it was a very deep room; lots of space between... Continue Reading →
I am currently in the midst of finalizing my book concept for Instant Nomad, my investigation of travel and anxiety, as I mentioned in my last post about testing photographs in my book-dummy. I have had some ideas of what my book cover might look like, but now realize that it was time to get... Continue Reading →
