Looking at one photograph at a time
Blog warning; what you are about to read is going to be very similar to what I just posted in The Photobook blog. I am just saying.... Book Fair and print sale for emerging photographer/artists Which includes yours truly, me! I will be there with my artist book Pine Lake as well as my Ciociaria... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Fiuggi Terme Nightscape) 2010 copyright Douglas Stockdale Where as the majority of the photographs that I post will probably be linked to a project at some point in time, I suspect that this photograph may not.

Yountville, CA 2007, copyright by Douglas Stockdale Last year while I was on assignment in Napa, CA I had the opportunity to walk around the back streets of Yountville. This is a little town off the main road heading north out of Napa while you are still in this famous wine area. I was waiting for my dinner... Continue Reading →
Odd, I can have no quams about spending an hour or two spotting a print, but I look for every excuse in the book to avoid manualing loading data in a spreadsheet.
