Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Paris Nuit) Copyright 2011 Douglas Stockdale. While looking through all of my Paris photographs after an inquiry earlier this month, I found this image that I have continued to find intriguing. I was in Paris on assignment and out to dinner with my friend Donovan when on the walk back to the hotel he... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Neightborhood, Rancho Santa Margarita, September 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale One of things I enjoy are my walks around the neighborhood. During which, I like to photograph the things that I find interesting. Sometimes after a while the things I have photographed start to hint at something that I might not be aware of or eventually...

Untitled (Parc Saint Cloud, France) Copyright Douglas Stockdale 2010 - Just recently I was asked if I had any photographs that investigate the city of Paris, which it turns out, I do. Regretfully, when I was in Paris, I was not inspired to work on a personal project that included Paris as a location, so... Continue Reading →
Neighborhoods (LA, 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Recently there has been a spat of articles recently published about the necessity of artists to "brand" themselves to improve their presence in the art world, which of course includes photography. This of course means that the galleries can increase the price of the artists works, which should... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Budding Memory Pods, March 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I posted this same image, but a version with a very distinct blue hue. After having this matted blue version on my work bench for a while, it dawned on me that this was a nice Singular Image, but it would not... Continue Reading →
Untitled (budding memory pods) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I had posted that I was finding myself being drawn back into my Memory Pods project. The photograph I posted was pretty close to a straight documentary image (which in retrospect is pretty boring at that). I was interested investigating the start of the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (#120 Memory Pods) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Last year I found myself photographing of all things, plants. Not a genre that that I have been drawn to before, but while messing around with the macro focusing capabilities of my Samsung 4, I started to investigate some aloe vera plants that had gone to seed in...

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. Nevertheless, it has always intrigued me as this scene is just a little slice of urban life, almost universal... Continue Reading →
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 →
