Looking at one photograph at a time
Tired Bones copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale - My framed and matted image Tired Bones is now available for bid in conjunction with the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) non-profit fund rasing art auction. I created a large special edition print for this fund raising auction, with an image size of 15" x 32-1/2", printed with pigment... Continue Reading →
Having mentioned my surfing safari at San Onofre, I thought that I would share with perhaps the best image of the batch. I printed a small bunch of other images from the shoot in color photographs for my sister and brother in law, Larry, but I liked this one enough to try my Black & White mojo.... Continue Reading →
While reviewing some of the images that I had made on my Napa trip last month, I remembered this image that I had made when dining at Bouchon's in Yountville. As I sat in this corner booth, I looked up to see a clock that was almost identical to my Grandfather's basement clock. After my Grandfather passed... Continue Reading →
San Onofre State Beach - California I do not usually turn an image around fast enough to qualify it as a photo of the day, but today this was an exception.

Evening Television (maybe in the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir) copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale I really like Martin's comment that perhaps I am better discussing the fact that I am easily fascinated, which I agree has a much more positive spin on life. I think that it is also related to Paul Lester's recent discussion about... Continue Reading →
I am now working on the color tonality of the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir. I want to bring in a slight bluish cast, but not as strong as effect (satuation) that I had decieded to use for the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip. So I will print up a couple of different images in different... Continue Reading →
While working on a series, I have also found myself being drawn to a particular image or photographing process and getting diverted from the subject at hand. I don't think that I have an attention problem, it is more like multi-tasking (my rationalization). Case in point was while I was in the early stages of the... Continue Reading →
