Near JiaShan (China) 2008 copyright Douglas Stockdale - I am continuing to consider the use of a Print on Demand (POD) book printing process for my SoFoBoMo (Solo Foto Book Month) project book. Now I am a member of both LuLu (lulu.com) and Blurb (www.blurb.com) POD communities. These may be my best options since... Continue Reading →
Darrell Klein
Photo copyright of the artist: Darrel Klein What I like about crusing through neath's Walking Turcot Yards, are all the related Urban Photographs and photographers that you come across. It is really more than the urban landscape of Quebec. One of the photographers, who is working 'deep' in the urban Nashville area, is Darrell (dk)... Continue Reading →
Foundations – Retrospective Folio
I recently published and started distributing my first Edition Folio, Foundations, as a retrospective collection of my landscape photographs from 1975 to 1985. I want to reflect on what I have learned during the development of this Editioned Folio. First was my intent for what I wanted to accomplish by completing the Edition Folio of... Continue Reading →
Guy Yates – Akikana
Inawashiroko, Fukushima-ken, Japan Copyright of the artist, Guy Yates One of the things that I found myself reflecting on during this last trip, was my interest in other photographers who are also working on what I am calling the social landscape. Some may also call this the urban landscape or perhaps street photography. But it... Continue Reading →
SoFoBoMo – Book Proposal

If Jeff Wall flew to Asia
My recent journey to China seemed to start on the right foot. While we were waiting for our plane to load, I looked out the window to an incredible scene that was unfolding at the aircraft across from us. The juxtaposition of the various support players was fascinating, with the cleaning crew on the ground... Continue Reading →
Canon XTi – cold weather issues
JiaShan, China (Just Looking series) copyright 2008 Douglas Stockdale - My biggest complaint during this last trip into China was the lousy cold weather performance of my Canon Rebel XTi. On consecutive days I had problems with using this camera in the cold weather. It did not shut down altogether, but after a certain point,... Continue Reading →
Xitang – Lunar New Year
Since I have a brief run of color images, I will add one more, this one from the ancient city of Xitang, near Jiashan. Xitang is classified as a old (1,000 years old) water village that is not being slated for urban development, at least right now. It is a local tourist trap for the... Continue Reading →
