Looking at one photograph at a time
Jack-O-Lantern copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale October is the month to prepare for that wonderful event we call Halloween. Last year Ella carved this magnificent pumpkin portrait which I had documented on my phone. Later while fooling around with the SnapSeed app on my Samsung camera-phone, I came up with one composition that looks very promising and... Continue Reading →
Untitled (#110 Memory Pods) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Over the weekend my HP four-in-one (4>1) business copier/printer-scanner-FAX machine sort of died or at least one of the two print heads did.

So as a photo-blogger I am now at a vexing cross roads. I launched Singular Images blog in April 2007, which in the day had no advertisements inserted into it. Not the case anymore. In fact this blog is so riddled with WordPress ads, even I have trouble looking reading it. So one of the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods #45 - Absence of Memory pods) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. While taking a diversion and playing around with the HDR mode with a number of my earlier photographs from the Memory pods project, I have been working with some darker thoughts. Which has resulted in some darker photographs, which is another new... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Traffic Signal) Copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale While I was off on my temporary tangent working on the Memory pods project, one of the items I photographed was this traffic signal control box. At the moment I made this composition I was thinking about the association of something that attempted to control signals (memories) being... Continue Reading →
