Looking at one photograph at a time
Plastic Lei, Maui Hawaii, 2006 copyright Douglas Stockdale So the issue with refocusing my earlier project is that this results in having two photographic projects in progress. My Ciociaria memory book is published, but I have not obtained any meaningful exhibitions of this body of work, thus if you take into account that I will be... Continue Reading →
Morning Shadow, Denverton, California, 2007 copyright Douglas Stockdale Following up on yesterday's post with a little more information about how my Roadside Remembrance series is being reconsidered as a Black & White portfolio. This series of roadside memorials was starting to get a little traction in 2008 and I felt it had potential to go beyond the... Continue Reading →
Nevada State Randy, Route 179, (Randy) copyright Douglas Stockdale Reading the recent (2015) October issue of PDN magazine, which is their annual photobook issue, I found myself thinking back to my real first photographic project, a series of roadside remembrance memorials. As a quick recap, it is a series that I became very fascinated by in late... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Zach, San Clemente, CA) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale For last Friday's touch football game, as I posted here, I made the switch up to the the larger Canon 5D MarkIII (Mk3), which has a image sensor with a very wide ISO capability in conjunction with using a trip-pod. Btw, since I had acquired the Mk3... Continue Reading →

Usually one good cure (for me) is to jump back in the fray. Thus a great reason to finish the development of this image... Continue Reading →

As I stated in my last post, I made a camera change for last night's flag football game. Still the same relatively slow zoom lens, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Stacey & Damien Valdez wedding, October 2015, New Orleans) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Having professional photographed a number of weddings in the past, one thing I enjoy now is NOT being the official wedding photographer! Between us, I found that weddings are very stressful events for many reasons. You can't ask the bride and... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Zachary, San Clemente, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier I had posted about using my Canon XTi camera in conjunction the 70-200L f/4 lens for photographs of Zach playing flag football at night. I did not have my tripod with me, but I knew from prior experience that for hand holding exposures at... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Bourbon Street, New Orleans, October 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale We attended a destination wedding in New Orleans, aka NoLa or The Big Easy, this past weekend. Our hotel was a couple of blocks off Bourbon Street, thus required a prerequisite evening walk-about. This is my version of what my experience of this place... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Michigan, September 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale I was surprised at the end of my photographic tweaking as to how this photograph is pulling me in. To be honest, it was one of series of grab shots that I made on approach while landing at Detroit Metro airport. Having made this landing recently, I... Continue Reading →
