Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (HDR Memory pods #03 and #04) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Always interesting as to the response I receive for the photographs I post. Just about every photograph that I post here on the blog, I usually post on my Facebook page. That's mostly a self promotion thing, right? Nevertheless, I do gets some pokes... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods #39, Aging Memory pods) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale This Memory pod project continues to evolve, but since my subject is evolving towards the end of it's bloom and seed cycle as a subject it is about at it's end for this year. I really can't recall if this plant blooms once per... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods #27, A Missing Memory pod) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale A version of this photograph was one of my early Memory pods #05 that I had heavily manipulated, see below. In conjunction with version #01, this photograph was drawing me deeper into this investigation of memory and its preservation. In both versions of... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods #25) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. After developing over twenty of the memory pod images using the Snapseed app on my Samsung camera-phone, I am going back and looking at these same images again. I might say that these are "straight" images that do not appear to be tweaked. The image above is... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods#24) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Seeing these pods on the ground in various states of decay made me think of the many beautiful memories that I have experienced and that have fallen on the way side, many to be forgotten. Regards
Untitled (Memory pods #21, May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale This morning I was out scouting some more memory pods that I had seen around the area over the past couple of days. It seems that this idea is not going easily away. Stylistically, I have been denaturing the color in my images, but in... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods #16, May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale I was captivated by the composition and appearance of two rose pods after the bloom. What I had not been attempting before this was the documentation and development of the same subject over time. Hopefully apparent the image #16 above was the earlier of the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods #07, May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale While developing this photograph for my Memory pods series, I kept finding myself introducing a warm hue. Up to this point I have been exploring variations of a neutral or tan background color. Color can convey a whole litany of narratives; such that a warm red... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Memory pods #04, May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale A continuation of my investigation into memory and its preservation. So I am intrigued as to why these various photographs seem to keep drawing me back. Visually I have made the pods to be more indistinct much like a memory but what about the entanglement?...

Untitled (Memory pods #01 May 2014) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale. This is my first visual experiment in my investigation using seed pods as a metaphor for memory and its preservation. Since I have completed over a dozen, I realized it is going to be increasingly difficult to keep track of each of these so I... Continue Reading →
