Anthropogenic Crisis No. 092740 (Melting City) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale - This past weekend while in Boulder Colorado for a family wedding, I was confronted with the aftermath of the Marshall Fire that occurred at the end of last December. This was a grass fire that became the most destructive in the history of Colorado in terms of structures... Continue Reading →
Anthropogenic Crisis No. 130333 (Warming Water) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale - One of the aspects of an adverse Climate Change, as it is occurring now, is that what's changing day to day is so subtle as to really not being recognizable. Unless something really dramatic occurs. An example is where I live in Southern California; if I were... Continue Reading →
Anthropogenic Crisis No. 5942 (Climate Change demons) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale - While working on my Anthropogenic Crisis series, there are times when the cloud formations over the ocean look very intriguing and I start anticipating something interesting to appear in my post-production process. I can never be sure as to what it might eventually... Continue Reading →
The Flow of Light Brushes the Shadow (book-dummy) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale – I like to think I follow my own advice. One of the many aspects of creating a physical book-dummy is to be able to have show-n-tell moments with other artists, photographers, friends, curators, bookstores and the like.

The Flow of Light Brushes the Shadow (book-dummy) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale – A quick status report on my book-dummy for The Flow of Light Brushes the Shadow , which appears to be slowly making some good progress.

Photograph 2022 copyright Jean Wilder With recent events going on, specifically the Russian invasion and war with Ukraine, I have been distracted and neglected to provide some self-promotion for an exhibition, All About the Light, that I am in. Currently on-going at SouthEast Center for Photography (SEC4P) in Greenville, S.C., which will close this weekend... Continue Reading →
Kyiv (Remembering Guernica) Number II, copyright 2020/2022 Douglas Stockdale This is the second version of my Kyiv (Remembering Guernica) artwork, a slight modification of what I published yesterday. The image now has a landscape orientation, which resonates in that Kyiv and Guernica are both cities and for me I visualize urban landscapes as horizontals. Visually this also symbolic of...

Kyiv (Remembering Guernica) copyright 2020/2022 Douglas Stockdale I find myself in a similar place that Picasso did in 1938 when Hitler bombed the civilian city of Guernica in Spain during the Spanish Civil War; how does one portray the suffering wrought by needless violence and chaos of an unprovoked attack?
