Looking at one photograph at a time
Clouds (over Atlanta) by Douglas Stockdale This last trip to Europe was a essentially all business, either in a hotel or a manufacturing facility from sun-up to past sunset. Initially I was going to have a brief opportunity to stop in Milan, but plans changed in many aspects, but instead an extra day in Rome before... Continue Reading →
San Diego Harbour Skyline by Douglas Stockdale If this photograph appears a little soft, it's because it was 1/30th of a second from a slow moving ship, made from our stateroom as we backed out of the slip. A photograph that is more about catching a memory as we left with my entire family and... Continue Reading →

Ocean-scape 11-13-09 by Douglas Stockdale
We recently did a little 4 night trip to Cabo this last weekend to celebrate a birthday or two.

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. I have also tweaked this in a Black & White... Continue Reading →
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 →
Vatican Hot Dog by Douglas Stockdale Egads, another rainy day in Rome, so I hope that it clears a little by this afternoon. So I had some time this morning to check out my earlier images of Rome when I was investigating the fine Italian restaurants, and I recalled this little Vatican diner, above. I... Continue Reading →
Yamamay by Douglas Stockdale With a little free time in Rome yesterday afternoon, I figured it would be a good opportunity to work on my fashion portfolio, since Rome is considered the number 4 fashion city after Milan, Paris and NY. I mean Rome, Milan what's going to be the difference in fashion photography? But... Continue Reading →
As of late, I think I can safely say that I am not an animal/nature photographer, but while sitting adjacent to Plazza Cavour in Rome, sipping a nice glass of local red wine, I could not help but notice the huge flock of birds flying directly above, usually in random patterns, but then occasionally flying...
