CA-241 Tollroad, Coto de Coza, California Copyright 2011 Douglas Stockdale Some may call it serendipity, while Christians would say that this is the quiet voice of the Lord, but an odd chain of events started this last Saturday when I received a unsolicted photobook, Afterwards, edited by Nathalie Herschdorfer, for a potential review on my blog The PhotoBook.
