Looking at one photograph at a time
Photographs copyright of Jerry Burchfield I have found myself very interested in a very old photographic technique that is as old as photography itself.

Photographs copyright of Douglas Stockdale I just completed my 2009 Critical Mass submission with the photographs from my project, Insomnia: Hotel Noir. A photo story that I use 36 photographs to tell and then I have to distill that down to 10 images for my submission. The 10 photographs are here, with the book cover (above) as my...

SideGate from the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir It looks like I should be able to make the July 15th deadline for my Blurb book submission, as I just loaded this photograph, SideGate, as a full bleed image into my Booksmart page. That leaves just one more photograph to go, and I have already completed most of the... Continue Reading →
AwayStation from the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir Well after a little too long of a hiatus, I have found my Insomnia files that seemed to have been crawling around in the garage during the studio re-model.
