Looking at one photograph at a time
Mussel Rock, Encinitas Beach copyright 1978 Douglas Stockdale - Good news, the surgery for the removal of a kidney stone, reported to be only slightly smaller than an ocean shoreline boulder that I photographed earlier (or at least it felt something like this), was successful and I am now on the mend (meaning that the...

Caustic Networks #9793 (Quantum Elements series) copyright 2020 Douglas Stockdale - While working on the series of photographs that investigates the sub-atomic world of particle physics, I have not really been calling much attention to the visual aspects of what results. Such that when the image is deconstructed and distilled into black and white, such... Continue Reading →
Quantum Elements (Caustic Network #165000) copyright Douglas Stockdale 2021 - My Quantum Elements series continues to evolve as I am really fascinated with the macro aspect of particle physics, those things that occur at the sub-atomic level, but yet provides evidence of the events that we can not see occurring. So cool. This is another... Continue Reading →
Sub-atomic Flow #3624 copyright 2021 Douglas Stockdale - When I published my earlier article about a trip up to Oregon and then out onto the coast to visit Patterson beach, I had hinted that there might be another follow on article, which is this one. Another aspect of the Oregon coast is the many small... Continue Reading →
Black Walnut tree, Eugene Oregon, October 2021 copyright Douglas Stockdale This is a take-off on my 10-minute rule for artistic (photographic) creativity, that is meant to help me become engaged with a new location, typically when on a holiday. This is also something I attempted to incorporate into my business travels when possible, usually resulting... Continue Reading →
It was a sunny morning today, so with mask & hat in tote, I took my camera for a walk down in to Arroyo Trabuco, which is where the Oso Creek runs through, as it meanders down from the Angeles Forest and eventually into the Pacific Ocean. My purpose was to take a different photograph... Continue Reading →
Have you ever gone out to take photographs, whether to the beach, park, or just a walk around the block and come back and realize that for all that time you spent, you did not take one single photograph? You might be thinking you have photographers-block, similar to writers-block or artist-block; encountering a blank slate... Continue Reading →
A homage to Molly McCall. While reviewing her Momento Vivere portfolio last year, she had created one image, Dissolved, that has really stayed with me. So while getting my eyes checked out earlier this year just as the pandemic was starting to break, I had to have this eye correction gear on to confirm that... Continue Reading →
When thinking of Earth Day, the poetic photograph above as a metaphor for what Earth Day represents for me always seems to come to mind. This was captured in the spring of 2006 and has all of the elements of hope for an Earth Day narrative: trees budding representing a new life, running water as... Continue Reading →
In my last update about my TechTransfer project I had discussed how this project was continuing to evolve. At that time I had converted 108 images to Black & White, and now I am up to 160 converted photographs. Musically I can sense a number of different riffs on this body of work so I...
