Looking at one photograph at a time
Rock Ring with Sea Shells (from the originally titled series: Bad Trip - Sad Trip) I have been working on my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip for over almost two years and as recently as today's image, which I guess qualifies it as a Photo of the Day. In one sense, I felt that I have created a sufficient... Continue Reading →
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.

One where I am in the midst of developing the final images and a couple of projects where I have the raw data and... Continue Reading →

After a number of emial exchanges with Colin Jago (blog: Photostream) about images that... Continue Reading →
Cross and Tree, Napa (from the series Bad Trip - Sad Trip) I have not progressed to the point on my series Bad Trip - Sad Trip that I need to be thinking about the organization of the images, first on my web site and subsequently how would I arrange the images for an exhibit or in a...

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...
