Untitled (Evidence #Evidence 081940-02-01-01) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale One of my favorite photographic phone apps is Snapseed.

Sidewalk Superintendent (Acuto, Italy, 2010) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Okay, where to start? This photograph was made while I was working on my Ciociaria project, but this image did not make the final edit into the photobook.
