At the moment, I feel that I am getting back into the flow of my series after a month away, but I do not feel that I have my rhythm back yet.

Resuming the local flow
I think I am now past the Germany/China trip jet lag and getting back to my local artistic flow; but some changes have since occured. Just before I left for Euorpe and Asia, we had the local wild fires for a week here in Southern California, then gone for three weeks, then the Thanksgiving holiday... Continue Reading →
My Brooks Jensen interview – LensWork
Last week after my return from China, I had my interview with Brooks Jensen, the Co-Editor of LensWork magazine in preparation for the LensWork Extended DVD and print editions. I am always fastinated with the reactions that I receive from my images, and this conversation was no exception. I knew that Brooks would want to... Continue Reading →
Travel log recollections: JiaXing China
Untitled (JiaXing, China) copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale - For me, this is a classic image that summarizes my impression of the JiaXing landscape; massive transition in the midst of very old tradition cloaked in the environmental haze. Massive transition in that everywhere there is change occurring and the change appears to be very rapid. The huge amount of construction... Continue Reading →
Travel Log: Tokyo layover
On my return trip from Shanghai to Los Angeles and home, I did a four hour layover in the Tokyo airport (and I do recommend Japan Airlines).

I also found myself thinking about the Contemporary Chinese Photography that seems to be popular at the moment, but this is after the fact, not while... Continue Reading →
Travel log recollections: Shanghai
I did not have the ability to leave travel log comments on my blog after arriving in China, thus there is a two week gap in my writings. The trip into Shanghai from Hong Kong did not start on the right foot. One of my goals during this three trip, was to spend some time... Continue Reading →
Restarting the book project again
Okay, I am now back from my three trip and I am ready to start working on my privately published folio on the Bad Trip - Sad Trip series, which I guess you could also call a Monograph. I have also initiated a new catagory bucket (Books) on the side bar to help consolidate all of these posts for those... Continue Reading →
Travel log: Now I’m Home
Well, now I am at home from this three week trip. Nice. I do feel upside down at the moment, since I am essentially on China time with its 9 hour difference. Not so nice, but this to will pass. But then I am greeted with a restart on my main computer due to some... Continue Reading →
