Looking at one photograph at a time
Neighborhoods (LA, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Recently there has been a spat of articles recently published about the necessity of artists to "brand" themselves to improve their presence in the art world, which of course includes photography. This of course means that the galleries can increase the price of the artists works, which should... Continue Reading →
Sidewalk Superintendent (Acuto, Italy, 2010) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Okay, where to start? This photograph was made while I was working on my Ciociaria project, but this image did not make the final edit into the photobook. Nevertheless, it has always intrigued me as this scene is just a little slice of urban life, almost universal... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Cheesman Park, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I posted another vision of this photograph, one that has a little more dramatic interpretation of this same composition.

Okay, perhaps a bit of photography too, but more about the photography in Vail in a later post. Of interest to me was an opportunity to check out the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (High Desert, Oak Creek, November 2014) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Last November in Oak Creek, Arizona. Mixed emotions, many memories here over the past couple of decades. This represents an open ended question for me. So I will see how this progresses. Cheers!
Nocturnal III (below: Nocturnal II & Nocturnal) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This last week I was on assignment in the Baltimore area and from what I anticipated about this trip, it was going to be long and late hours entirely inside with a large group of people, which indeed it turned out to be. Thus... Continue Reading →
Untitled (MingXinPian #0984) copyright Douglas Stockdale This is a long term and a slowly developing project that I have worked on intermittently these past years. For this photograph I am investigating a feeling about a state of decline or decay. I recently had an opportunity to show this photographic print in conjunction with five similar...

Untitled (Tijeras Creek, January 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale An attempt to try to capture the mood of the day here in Southern California during one of infrequent periods of rain and drizzles. Cheers
