Looking at one photograph at a time
photographs copyright the artists I find it interesting as to how much of my available time is required to curate the photobook exhibition at Fotografia di Roma. The exhibition opens this Thursday at 8pm and runs through the end of October. Whereas I had plans to be in Rome for the exhibition opening, my travel... Continue Reading →
I have a new and unique opportunity, as my proposal to curate a photobook exhibition for the XI Edition of FotoGrafia Festival Internazionale di Roma (FotoGrafia - the International Festival of Rome) was accepted. Very nice! The theme for this festival is "work", which is an interesting subject and in my proposal, I addressed it rather broadly. I... Continue Reading →
photograph copyright 2012 Douglas Stockdale For the last four or five months, I have been quietly working on a project about work and identity. No too much ado, but just posting an occasional singular image and a brief reference to what it might be about. For me, there is an interesting interplay between the photographs, the...

OC 5K course - Douglas Stockdale 2012 Week one of my 5K challenge was interesting and a bag of mixed results. First the good news, I did work on this for the entire week and I am convinced that I can complete a 5K in under an hour. For most of you, I am assuming... Continue Reading →
Today I mapped out a route through my neighborhood that appeared to provide me with a 5K training course. One of the issues with South Orange County is that this area is not flat. But the good news is if I can work in a decent time on this undulating course, then I should be even... Continue Reading →
CDG - Douglas Stockdale 2012 It is interesting that while I am in the process of vetting one project that another related project gains clarity (convergence). Or maybe said in another way, as I refine the concept of a project and gain a better understanding of the images that I believe should be included, the images that... Continue Reading →
mile and a half in - Douglas Stockdale 2012 I think some people loath them, others luv 'em, and what I am talking about is the use of running machines, those stationary treadmills that enable you to literally go nowhere fast. As for me, I like 'em! And I think that they are cool for a number... Continue Reading →
Sweet temptations - Douglas Stockdale 2012 Another part of a training for a run is maintaining a good diet, with a proper balance of carbs, proteins and fats. And after making that decision, it seems that is when folks starting bringing in the sweet temptations. It's like they have a sixth sense for this, knowing what might be a... Continue Reading →
da machine, copyright Douglas Stockdale 2012 Yesterday I commented on interval training from the perspective of alternating my walking/jogging/running sequence while making my distance. With a lot more walking than the other two alternatives at the moment. The other part of this is how often to train? Every day, every other day, or perhaps once per... Continue Reading →
Just a little sweat So what I remember from my High School field and track days, interval training is a great way to build up your stamina and speed. Yes, yours truly was part of great 1 mile relay team that rocked our conference, with my 1/4 mile leg perhaps not gaining ground, but rarely... Continue Reading →
