Looking at one photograph at a time
. 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 →
. Untitled (San Onofre State Park, CA April 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. While we were picnicking at San Onofre State Park last Easter Sunday, we took a long walk down the beach toward Camp Pendelton, where the public beach officially ends. I have always been fascinated with what the ocean tide creates on its... Continue Reading →
. untitled (San Onofre State Beach, CA April 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale For Easter this year, the family headed to San Onofre State Park and down trail 6 to the beach for a picnic.

As always, I figured that this would be an interesting experience. Usually is. In the past, I have found that the court system is... Continue Reading →
I made this observation during one of my frequent trips. A common perspective for those on flights. I am intrigued in this variant of portraiture and I have been making a series of these passenger portraits as a possible part of my Instant Nomad series. Cheers!

Untitled (Hunt Valley, Maryland, March 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Late last month I posted an urban landscape photograph made from this same vantage point. These two photographs have a very different appearance that might be best explained that they originated from two different digital capture systems. The photograph above is from my Canon 5D,...

untitled (Ranch Santa Margarita, CA 04-03-14) copyright Douglas Stockdale - I am always amazed as how one one thing seems to lead to another. I have been a fan of Bill Jacobson's photographs and I curated his photobook A Series of Human Decisions into the recent 10x10 American Photobooks exhibition in Tokyo last year. Prior...

Untitled (Hunt Valley, Maryland, March 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale While on a business trip earlier this week to Maryland, I continued to investigate the found urban landscape. Serendipity and chance play a decisive part of this investigate. In this case, this is a composition found when looking out my hotel window. Cheers!
