Looking at one photograph at a time
I am doing some evaluations of the new website Photobook Collective that is meant help everyone buy and sell photobooks, new, used or somewhere in between.

Middle Ground, limited edition artist book, copyright Douglas Stockdale I am very excited to 'relaunch' the selling of Middle Ground, my limited edition artist book that I self-published in 2018.

The Waycross image has a formalism to it that I think works well with some urban landscapes and for me seemed suited to the subject. This image is probably just the... Continue Reading →
LSTa0066 copyright Douglas Stockdale 2021 Well I know what I should be doing. I have an solo exhibition that I should be promoting (well I guess this counts a little) as well as my book development workshop in March, see below. I know that 'promoting' these events is suppose to be all sorts of social... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, July 14th, I took another long hike down into Arroyo Trabuco to work on my pandemic project, or should I say, the series of artworks that coincided with the start of the COVID-19. This urban landscape photograph was made at the start of my journey and part of my ten-minute rule to become creatively... Continue Reading →
