Looking at one photograph at a time
City Intersection Fence (From the project: In Passing) I have been working on and off on the Artistic Statement for my project Bad Trip - Sad Trip (orignial working title) and I think that I have it finished for the moment. I still need to get permission from Simon Denison to quote him from his introduction to Quarry... Continue Reading →
Still working on the first full sort of the images that I had made over the previous nine months for the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir (blue version). I had allowed these images to accomulate with out much editing as I was trying to finish the earlier series Bad Trip - Sad Trip. Hope to have... Continue Reading →
Evening Television (maybe in the series Insomnia: Hotel Noir) copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale I really like Martin's comment that perhaps I am better discussing the fact that I am easily fascinated, which I agree has a much more positive spin on life.

Napa Lights (from the series In Passing) copyright 2007 Douglas Stockdale I was not sure how the evening photograph of the memorial from Napa would appear after making the color conversion to Black & White. The one thing that I did know is that working in Black & White would provide me more liberties in adjusting... Continue Reading →
...While photographing my different series, I am intending to create most of the final images in Black & White, I have photographs that are very unique in color. And in this case with the long exposure and tail light streaks during a photograph made at late dusk, not an image that will easily translate directly to Black & White. And so the...

.....Since I write about photography (mostly), I will add one of my earlier posted images to help with the site feel. and yes I am still in Napa, CA for another couple of more days, driving down to my Studio in Southern CA on Friday. Hope to make LA early enough to pick up a... Continue Reading →
