Ciociaria – Final design complete & on press
Ciociaria copyright 2011 Douglas Stockdale, published by Edizioni Punctum The short story: my book design is complete (thank you Leonardo & Marco!) and the book is on press.

In Passing – an Aftermath project
CA-241 Tollroad, Coto de Coza, California Copyright 2011 Douglas Stockdale Some may call it serendipity, while Christians would say that this is the quiet voice of the Lord, but an odd chain of events started this last Saturday when I received a unsolicted photobook, Afterwards, edited by Nathalie Herschdorfer, for a potential review on my blog The PhotoBook. As I stated... Continue Reading →
A day of working on my project In Passing
Oregon route 30, copyright 2011 Douglas Stockdale This was a mixed day working on my project In Passing; tweaking photographis, printing for my revised book dummy, which I now have all of the photographic prints in the straight black & white mode to start the sequencing and pairing design process.

In the case with my photobook Ciociaria, I had captured the imagination of Marco at Edizioni Punctum, who was... Continue Reading →
Flow of Light Brush the Shadow – continuation
Enroute to PingHu Copyright 2008 Douglas Stockdale I am continuing to evaluate my body of work from 2007 - 2008 made in China that is evolving into one of two potential book projects, with these photographs for "Flow of Light Brush the Shadow". I am also using a new tool (for me), uploading the strongest images... Continue Reading →
Flow of Light Brush the Shadow
All Photographs Copyright 2011 by Douglas Stockdale I have continued to think about the body of work that I created while I was in China during 2007 and 2008. While in the midst of my stay, I had a number of potential concepts, but in retrospect, not really concrete enough. I know that while in China... Continue Reading →
