Looking at one photograph at a time
Photograph is copyright Matt Alofs In discussing my interest in the photographic images of Matt Alofs, it is only fair that I disclose that he was also a co-member of Stills, an online photo group, with me, but I don't think that this changes my interest in Matt's work;- ) Matt's work centers mostly on two distinct bodies of...

Photo is copyright of the photographer, Thomas Broening While browsing Conscientious today, I found the referral to Thomas Broening, who is a commerical photographer as well as having his personal projects and blog. I have found the urban (empty) landscapes of his personal work very interesting as he states that he is using them as a reflection of his 'inner conflicts'.... Continue Reading →
I think that most may not believe me, but I have had my Epson 4800 for about two years and yesterday after my last post, I made my first color print on this printer. Even if my Black and White prints are in RGB color mode with a added Hue adjustment layer to provide my warm tone, I... Continue Reading →
Recently I had to face a not so nice fact, I had a bias against color images. Now I knew that I was not a people photographer, preferring the landscape, usually sans people. That was all that I needed to create a nice metaphor. I also know that I usually photographed in color but happily... Continue Reading →
As my title states, I am trying to get organized. My bad tendency is to get over committed and at some point, I need to figure out who is on first and what is on second. I am trying to get organized after being out of the country for three weeks, back a week and... Continue Reading →
Just a quick note that we are back in SoCal after completing our marathon drive back from Vail yesterday. A long time in the saddle and then my knee brace starting pinching about three hours from home, bummer. I made a slight adjustment and comfortably made the last stretch. There is a lot of beautiful... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Vail, Colorado) copyright Douglas Stockdale - Okay, while nursing a bum knee, which is slowly getting better (ice 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off), I decided to push ahead with my SoFoBoMo (Solo Foto Book Month) test project, now named: (drum roll, please) Ski Town. So this is making lemonade out of lemons, which... Continue Reading →
Yesterday when we stopped for a lunch break during our skiing, I noticed these snow covered tables and chairs off in one corner of the courtyard up in the Mid-Vail ski 'hut'. Usually they have the BBQ running and there are a ton of folks milling about getting some fuel for the rest of the... Continue Reading →
I have to admit, the reason we are here in Vail is to ski and party with family and friends. Today was a ski day, two inches of powder over a deep base, constant snow flurries and a very light breeze. Very nice conditions! Then in the afternoon, we had hazy sun and occassional sunlight,...

Yesterday was a wonderful dog day, as you might guess from this laid back pooch who was hanging out in Vail Village. Yep, he was a show stopper, so can you blame me? Something seen in Vail;- ) And I am pretty sure that I made my quota yesterday, six images. Today was a different... Continue Reading →
