Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Zachary, San Onofre State Park, CA April 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale A reclining boy on top of rocks and gravel. The actual location is visually ambiguous with few clues. Upon closer inspection there is what appears to be seaweed on the rocks, as well as some of the rocks have a sheen of... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Don, San Onofre Beach, CA April 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale This is another from my beach portrait series. To be honest, my first version of this image is provided below. I think I was interested in the graphic repetition of the waves, partly as a design element as well as exploring a concept... Continue Reading →

The revised (second) edition has a stronger emphasis on Print-on-Demand, mostly focused on the Blurb publishing company, Zines and the Digital Revolution.

Untitled (Rock Theater, San Onofre, CA April 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale While we were spending Easter Sunday on the San Onofre Beach, Ella and Zach started an interchange that might be best described as Rock Theater.

Untitled (Irvine, CA, May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale A bit more chaotic and probably little more abstract and maybe even more mysterious than the photograph that I posted a couple of days ago, here. Cheers!
Untitled (Irvine, CA April 2014) copyright Douglas Stockdale. Over the last couple of months while I have been working on the publication of my next photobook, I have also found myself taking singular images. In taking this photograph I am not really working on a project per se, which for the past couple of years... Continue Reading →
. Ella's Birthday party, Irvine, CA copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale When we had a birthday party for Ella on Friday evening, the light was pretty low, but I thought I could do without using the flash with the Samsung 4 phone-camera. Regretfully that did not work out as anticipated. So I switched over to the... Continue Reading →
. Untitled (Santa Ana, CA, March 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. This is another early morning photograph I made in Santa Ana last month when I was called into jury duty at the Orange County Superior court. Similar to the other photographs I made on this overcast morning (here), the whole idea of determining... Continue Reading →
. Untitled (Ella, San Onofre, April 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale This is the start of a new portrait project that I am being drawn into. To be honest, even though I have photographed a fair number of individuals, it is very difficult for me to approach someone, especially a stranger, and ask if they... Continue Reading →
. Untitled, copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. This past weekend there were two photographic fairs in L.A., and in fact they were adjacent to each other. The largest of these was the second Paris Photo LA held again on the back lot of the Paramont Picture Studios in Hollywood. I wrote about Paris Photo LA in... Continue Reading →
