Looking at one photograph at a time
Entanglement, number 1766-4, copyright 2024 Douglas Stockdale - Towards the end of last year, I was trading emails with another alt-photo artist about my Photolucida Critical Mass 2023 and 2024 Finalist recognition. She had mentioned that she had four Critical Mass Finalist awards, while nothing higher (e.g. Top 50) seemed to occur for her, thus... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Entanglement series) 2024 copyright Douglas Stockdale – As I have for many years, a look back on my accomplishments in 2024. I mentioned that this was a healthy task for creatives in my last end of year update for 2023. Likewise, I will probably post my 2025 goals next week, as I did here for 2024. I... Continue Reading →
Overdue for an update. Back in April I wrote an article about how I might combine coffee toning with my cyanotype prints for my Urban Ashes project. The thinking was that the Prussian blue cyanotype print color did not entirely resonate with this particular project's narrative for me and I wanted to make this subject... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Entanglement series, No. 8847-1) copyright 2023 Douglas Stockdale – After realizing that my classic cyanotype pre-made chemicals have an expiration, I have spent the majority of January reprinting many of earlier cyanotype prints for my Entanglement series with 'fresh' solutions. Last week, while using another pair of classic cyanotype chemicals (solutions A&B) that I purchased last... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Marshall Fire: Aftermath Ashes #6560) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale – This is my third post (here and here) related to the Marshall fire that occurred two years ago in Boulder Colorado. Maybe this is not the most uplifting subject to end the year with, while perhaps the most realistic regarding the times we live in. This was... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Marshall Fire: Aftermath Ashes #6238) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale – It was exactly two years ago to the day that the communities in Boulder County, Colorado, experienced an end of the year event in 2021 that is becoming eerily too common; severe drought coupled with hurricane-force winds and one spark too many. What was the environmental lead-up... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Marshall Fire Aftermath #094853) copyright 2022 Douglas Stockdale – Two years ago communities in Boulder County, Colorado, experienced an end of the year event in 2021 that is becoming eerily too common; severe drought coupled with hurricane-force winds and one spark too many. Lasting two days over 1,100+ homes and business were totally destroyed. The... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Entanglement series, #6908-2) copyright 2023 Douglas Stockdale – When I recently learned to use an embroidery back-stitch on my cyanotype prints for one of Last Iceberg series prints, I realized that using the back-stitch on one of my recent Entanglement series cyanotypes (above) could be ideal solution to a problem I had encountered. I had found... Continue Reading →
Blue Horizon (number 5505) copyright 2023 Douglas Stockdale - Earlier this year I was in the midst of working on the Last Iceberg cyanotypes when I received my Critical Mass 2023 Finalist notification for my Entanglement cyanotype series. Full stop on the work for Last Iceberg series in anticipation that I might be in the... Continue Reading →
‘Randy‘ Nevada Route 157 (In Passing: Lest I Forget #1954) solar cyanotype + Prismacolor pencil, copyright 2007/2023 Douglas Stockdale – While writing about my earlier series of roadside memorials, I recalled that I had yet another name for this series, Lest I Forget, which is written on one of the memorials I found while driving in Nevada. I... Continue Reading →
