Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Tijeras Creek, RSM, January 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Winter in Southern California means rain and intermittent drizzles with some snow up in the local mountains. Weather-wise I think all the locals know that we are very spoiled as compared to many of our friends who live elsewhere. So when we get some rain it... Continue Reading →

Untitled (Atlanta, GA #5532) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale - One of the fascinating subjects for me are Industrial objects, where form will follow function and how the resulting form will usually have a sophisticated elegance to it. Engineering design is concerned about utility, efficiency, ergonomics, functionality, usability, maintenance, user-interfaces and work flows, thus one of... Continue Reading →
Ferentino, Italy copyright 2012 Douglas Stockdale The attempt to preserve memories is more prevalent in Italy than I earlier thought. They can be very subtle and difficult to discern, but this one in Ferentino was very obvious. (Update: the working title of this project has reverted to the earlier version: In Passing)
Somewhere over the MidWest USA, December 2011 by Douglas Stockdale It seems like this blog is becoming my de-facto website as it much easier to incorporate updates.
