Looking at one photograph at a time
Yesterday I took a day trip down to San Diego to meet up with some of my editorial and operational team at the Medium Festival. Primarily we were there to meet up with the documentary photographer Louie Palu for an interview I have in process for publication with PhotoBook Journal. Okay, we were also interested in...

Pease be advised: Do not try to adjust your monitor! The colors you are looking at are indeed "unique". One of the interesting aspects of using expired 120 film is not knowing what might come back from the processing laboratory. Sometimes, as with the Pampas Grass photograph that I had discussed earlier this week, most... Continue Reading →
Gardening for Ordnance series, copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale - Yesterday, I posted my lament about living in Southern California with the constant sunny days and corresponding blue skies.

I just returned from the LACP 2019 Exposure Weekend in Marina del Rey in which I was a portfolio reviewer and... Continue Reading →

At some moments, the above photograph, Disassociation, may well visually describe how I am feeling; a bit frantic with what seems like still too many things to do. Even with my background in project management... Continue Reading →
When I was recently provided the opportunity to offer some of my photographs for sale at my gallery, Fabrik Projects, one of the photographs I found myself thinking about was Sunset, Nevada State Route 159, above. This is from my Roadside Remembrance Memorials series. I was intrigued about relooking at this image due in big... Continue Reading →
I recently discussed that I will have a series of photographic prints for sale at my gallery, Fabrik Projects, in Los Angeles. The photograph I featured in that post was from my Foundations project, Cascade, Spring, Placerita Canyon that I photographed in 2006 with the Hasselblad using Kodak color negative film. I have made a... Continue Reading →
