Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Mr. Bum-toe buys some new tires) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale So when I get poked by the fickle finger of fate, I try to make the most of it. About a week ago, I kinda bashed my big toe, what I call getting the big-owie. I was already having some issues with this toe,... Continue Reading →
Untitled (fishing notice, Pennsylvania, Pine Lake) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale While I was looking for fishing license and other fishing ephemera for my Pine Lake artist book as I was discussing yesterday with the Michigan fishing stamp, I kept having this particular Pennsylvania fishing notice, above, pop-up in my searches. hmmm, besides being very humorous,...

Untitled (sheet, 1950 Michigan Trout Stamp, Pine Lake) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale While I was developing the dummy for my Pine Lake artist book, I came up with the idea that in addition to the book being in the ziplock that adding some other loose ephemera would provide another dimension to this project.

Untitled (Douglas Stockdale, Art Supply Warehouse, Westminster, CA) For the last couple of days, I have been in the fabrication mode for Pine Lake, my artist book. One of the limitations to constructing this artist book was the 24" paper cutter in my studio. Thus after I purchased the 32" x 40" Crescent 20C chipboard... Continue Reading →

Perhaps in first glance that appears even MORE boring, but I beg to... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Schipol, Netherlands #6653) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale This is the stuff that drives me crazy. While developing a project, much like a cat who is stalking a mouse, I am easily distracted by a interesting ball of yarn. I have developed another almost complete set of photographs that I find interesting and that have... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Fiumicino, Italy #7224) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale More tweaking of the photographs for this project; contrast adjustments, cropping modifications and moving some photographs to the back-up folder. Started early discussions with one publisher and moved another into the reserve pile. It does not work for me when publishers start asking for a $250.00 fee just... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Schipol, Netherlands, #6659) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale As I continue to develop this project, I also gain more clarity as to what is inclusive and what might be eliminated.
