Worm Holes #4 ....okay, prehaps I should not have been so gloomy before I actually loaded CS3....These are going to be my immediate first impressions.

Worm Holes #3 ...I just received my Photoshop CS3 upgrade and it is a good news - bad news situation for me. The good news is all of the new upgrade features in CS3 from CS that I am using now. I am looking forward to putting into my workflow; a RAW converter that will read my... Continue Reading →
Death Scar, copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale ...this picture that I made in Hawaii was a during my transition for the In Passing (Bad Trip -Sad Trip) project, from "what Doug saw" to what this series suggests.
