Looking at one photograph at a time
Copyright 2017 Douglas Stockdale We just completed our annual ski trip to Vail, Colorado. We drove out from Southern California with Zach and met up with Chad in Vail, who came up from Denver. Drive out through California, Nevada, Utah and then into Colorado was breath taking as usual, but no stopping on the way... Continue Reading →
San Clemente, CA 2017 copyright Douglas Stockdale So my latest experiment-fun that I have been playing around with is photographing the ocean, surf & sky when I happen to be driving near and subsequently posting on Instagram (@douglasstockdale) as my Weather & Surf Report. As you might imagine, we live close by and my daughter lives... Continue Reading →
Trabuco Canyon I, copyright 2017 Douglas Stockdale - Between the recent rain storms in Southern California, I decided to take a short walk (yes, not really a hike) through part of the Trabuco Canyon (aka Trabuco Arroyo) adjacent to where we live. I must admit, I am still drawn to the irregular shapes of what... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Middle Ground) copyright 2016 Douglas Stockdale Something that has not really captured my attention for some time is working with video. I am of that generation in which movies were made with super-8mm film, a real bear to edit (actually had to physically splice the film together) and trying to add sound was an... Continue Reading →
untitled (Middle Ground), copyright 2016 Douglas Stockdale - While working on my current project, Middle Ground, I have thinking that I might want to consider using my Hasselblad and start shooting this with color 120 film in 2017.

It reminded me of what a portal might appear like, which in this case could be a potential portal into the past. To enhance that potential visual... Continue Reading →
Living Santa Fe portfolio 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale As I wrote earlier about our recent Thanksgiving in Santa Fe, we had rented a house for this long weekend that exhibited all of the Santa Fe charm you could wish for. I found myself photographing this home's interior and exterior landscape and on return, created this... Continue Reading →
2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale One of the nice aspects of Santa Fe, New Mexico is the relatively small and centralized layout of this early Western town.It is quaint, very picturesque, great food and now has a zillion art galleries, including a couple of photographic galleries; photo-eye and Verve (which regretfully in closing in February 2017)...

Denver 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale I found this to be an interesting urban landscape while we were walking a little bit of Denver (Colorado) this past week.. The Fall colors in conjunction with most of the leaves now laying on the ground, that in turn reveal the older house that was probably hiding behind the shrubs... Continue Reading →
Night Light copyright 2016 Douglas Stockdale On our first evening in Denver last week there were some remnants of snow still on the ground, which I found intriguing. I started playing with some cast light patterns created by a residential nightlight (these were solar powered units; the light was not that strong and had an interesting... Continue Reading →
