Pacific cruise

We recently did a little 4 night trip to Cabo this last weekend to celebrate a birthday or two. Having recently reviewed the book by Debra Bloomfield for The PhotoBook about her ocean-scapes, I must have been open to my own versions of atmospheric & interpretative ocean-scapes. Since I had to immediately catch a plane after we returned to port,... Continue Reading →

Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round, Roma, Italy 2009 by Douglas Stockdale As I prepare to return to Rome again, one of the images from the week before that I captured in the late afternoon was this Merry-go-round (I don't know the Italian name for this), which still haunts my memory.

Colosseum Gelati

Colosseum Gelati by Douglas Stockdale The rain did finally clear just after 1pm yesterday, which was good enough to catch the bus into downtown Rome. I did not want to eat lunch inside the hotel, so by the time we arrived in town, I was a hungry puppy. Remembering the cafes lining the nearby Plazza... Continue Reading →

Still developing Milan Fashion Week

Fashion Week Accessory: Paparazzi by Douglas Stockdale from the project: Milan Fashion Week Although I lost a couple of days of photo files from when I was in Milan last month, I had hoped to fill in the gaps in my project when I returned to Milan at the end of this month, possibly the begining of November....

Working on my fashion project

Fashion Pavillions by Douglas Stockdale from the project Milan Fashion Week One of my challenges for blogging my photo-project Milan Fashion Week is to think of my postings in reverse, as I want someone to connect to the blog and experience it as I envision as they scroll down. Which means posting the last images first, the first images... Continue Reading →

Netherland & Texas cliches

Copyright of Douglas Stockdale Over the last couple of weeks I have been doing some traveling and sitting either in a train or a plane, while being carried along, I see some cliches. They just seem to be fun to try and catch and sometimes some new happens. Two from the Netherlands from a couple of weeks... Continue Reading →
