Looking at one photograph at a time
This self-portrait is pretty much how I will look when I go out now during these COVID-19 pandemic days here in America. The mask is a cloth, non-medical material, which was made at home, meant to ensure if I were positive to protect others as well as some protection for myself when I have to... Continue Reading →
Yesterday after posting the singular image for the urban landscape in which the Restoration in progress sign was posted, I kept mulling over how I might want to use it. So serendipity strikes again; this morning while watching Good Morning America with my cup of coffee, one of the segments was about how to survive the... Continue Reading →
With the recent COVID-19 events, a San Diego gallery, A Photographers Eye, has announced a juried on-line exhibition, Living and Photographing in the Time of COVID-19, which has caught my interest as something immediate to work on.

Since I was one of the few people walking (or bike riding) in the canyon, I was doing my part for social distancing. Minimal social... Continue Reading →
Copyright Douglas Stockdale - I have been writing a series of articles about landscape photography, which I think is equally applicable to nature or urban landscape genres. Most recently I had been surprised by some of my photographic results and then with that new knowledge, I was able to then able to pre-visualize and photograph similar... Continue Reading →
Over the past week, I published two articles, experimental/play and covid-19 impact, in conjunction with using a new series of photographs that I have been creating. I am trying to get my head around this new series of experimental photographs that appear like an organic versions of the Abstract Expressionist movement form the 1950's and... Continue Reading →
