Photographs copyright Douglas Stockdale 2012 I am now able, as well as extremely happy, to share some wonderful news. Over the past month, I have been in discussions with Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma (MACRO), the largest contemporary art museums in Rome Italy, regarding the acquisition of three Limited Edition photographs from my photobook project Ciociaria.
