Looking at one photograph at a time
Last week after my return from China, I had my interview with Brooks Jensen, the Co-Editor of LensWork magazine in preparation for the LensWork Extended DVD and print editions. I am always fastinated with the reactions that I receive from my images, and this conversation was no exception. I knew that Brooks would want to... Continue Reading →
Ok, so what about LensWork, issue 74, to be published January/February 2008? Because that is going to be the issue that my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip (subsequently titled In Passing) is going to be published in!! I received notification from LensWork earlier this week while I was in JiaXing. I have scheduled the... Continue Reading →
Heart Broken Fence (from the originally titiled project: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale This is the other Victorville road side tribute memorial that is located about 150 feet from the Halloween Costume image I made earlier this week.

I saw there was fog also up in on... Continue Reading →
Rock Ring with Sea Shells (from the originally titled series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) I have been working on my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip for over almost two years and as recently as today's image, which I guess qualifies it as a Photo of the Day. In one sense, I felt that I have created a sufficient... Continue Reading →
City Intersection Fence (From the project: In Passing) I have been working on and off on the Artistic Statement for my project Bad Trip - Sad Trip (orignial working title) and I think that I have it finished for the moment. I still need to get permission from Simon Denison to quote him from his introduction to Quarry... Continue Reading →
