Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Cheesman Park, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I posted another vision of this photograph, one that has a little more dramatic interpretation of this same composition. Many might consider this the more representative version, not entirely banal, but with some metaphoric vestiges. This is part of my investigation of memory, how... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Humboldt St, Cheesman Park District, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale There is something about the circa 1910 window casements that connects with me, probably as this reminds me so much of my Grandparents house in western Pennsylvania. A window makes a wonderful metaphoric subject, but as a genre, it is on the edge... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Cheesman Park, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale While walking through Cheesman Park in the greater Denver area, I could not help but notice this pair of benches under this very mature tree. I am not sure of the age of this tree or these benches as to how long they have been dutifully... Continue Reading →

Untitled (High Desert, Oak Creek, November 2014) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Last November in Oak Creek, Arizona. Mixed emotions, many memories here over the past couple of decades. This represents an open ended question for me. So I will see how this progresses. Cheers!
Nocturnal III (below: Nocturnal II & Nocturnal) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This last week I was on assignment in the Baltimore area and from what I anticipated about this trip, it was going to be long and late hours entirely inside with a large group of people, which indeed it turned out to be. Thus... Continue Reading →
Untitled (MingXinPian #0984) copyright Douglas Stockdale This is a long term and a slowly developing project that I have worked on intermittently these past years. For this photograph I am investigating a feeling about a state of decline or decay. I recently had an opportunity to show this photographic print in conjunction with five similar...

Untitled (Tijeras Creek, RSM, January 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Winter in Southern California means rain and intermittent drizzles with some snow up in the local mountains. Weather-wise I think all the locals know that we are very spoiled as compared to many of our friends who live elsewhere. So when we get some rain it... Continue Reading →

This year I was asked by Manik Katyal, the... Continue Reading →
