A Ski day

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,...

Vail – dog days

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 →

Vail – I’m Just Looking

For Vail, Colorado, skiing came first, then the town, versus many of the other Colorado ski destinations. So Vail during the winter is all about skiing. So you can easily say that skiing is a central aspect of Vail. But there also a very large organizational infrastructure that makes this work well. Currently, Vail is... Continue Reading →

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

One thought that the Doonster pointed me to regarding SoFoBoMo ( and I keep typing SoPoBoMo where I am thinking Photo, not Foto - I know, blame jet lag) is a thought by Colin at Photostream to develop the final output in a book format, but perhaps more in line with a book proposal format....

Chinese Fashion Show

Okay, who thought of me as a 'fashion' and runway photographer?? Yep, me neither. But what a fun opportunity! This is a fashion show, with the dresses designed by the workers and staff at this industrial site in Pinghu, also modeled by the dress designers and the dress's materials used are from the non-woven industrial...

New Chinese Industrial Space – Pinghu

Industrial Park, PingHu 2008 copyright Douglas Stockdale - My assignments in China have taken me to three new industrial buildings within three new industrial parks. The facility in PingHu was probably the largest facility and in the newest & largest industrial park. I did not get into the city of PingHu, except for one large... Continue Reading →
