Looking at one photograph at a time
Ready for a Holiday (Bluewater Shore, artist book, self-published, 2017) copyright Douglas Stockdale Very exciting news; last week I have a sponsor for my limited edition artist book Bluewater Shore! For the past six days I have radically shifted gears to finalize the development of my project: book & cover design (same as Pine Lake), tweaked... Continue Reading →
Trubuco Canyon 2017 copyright Douglas Stockdale This week one of the photographic groups I attend, The Photographers Exchange, is having the annual print exchange meeting (at IFAC on Thursday, March 16 starting at 5:30pm). Except with a slight twist; everyone who brings a print will leave with some else's print, it is just the print... Continue Reading →

Middle Ground, San Diego, 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale I have enjoyed a short breather from my Middle Ground project, an investigation of "Fortress America", a sarcastic visual parody of the current political desire to build a HUGE wall to protect America from the desperadoes of the South. I touched on this project briefly during my... Continue Reading →

This is the third time I have been featured on Lenscratch by the wonderful Aline. I think that this honor is mostly... Continue Reading →

As you might imagine, we live close by and my daughter lives... Continue Reading →
Trabuco Canyon I, copyright 2017 Douglas Stockdale - Between the recent rain storms in Southern California, I decided to take a short walk (yes, not really a hike) through part of the Trabuco Canyon (aka Trabuco Arroyo) adjacent to where we live. I must admit, I am still drawn to the irregular shapes of what... Continue Reading →
Saddle Stitch Fastener copyright 2017 Douglas Stockdale I have bought one new item for 2017 (and I am still looking for that used 50mm CF Distagon for the Hasselblad), which is pictured above, what is called a Saddle Stitch Fastener, or a stapler on steroids. I will be using this book binder for my LACP Introduction... Continue Reading →
Bluewater Shore copyright 2017 Douglas Stockdale So if life is not crazy enough, I might be also looking to self-publish in 2017 my photobook Bluewater Shore, the second in my series of Holiday Snaps project (the first being Pine Lake). Honestly, this project took a little holiday when (1) it took a lot of energy... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Middle Ground) copyright 2016 Douglas Stockdale Something that has not really captured my attention for some time is working with video. I am of that generation in which movies were made with super-8mm film, a real bear to edit (actually had to physically splice the film together) and trying to add sound was an... Continue Reading →
