Zach, San Juan Hills H.S., San Juan Capistrano, July, 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale Last weekend I attended Zach's swim meet and I continue to be vexed on how to capture good photographs of the swimmers, because if they are swimming well, you do not see much of their faces unless it's the breast stroke, then...

Ella, San Clemente CA copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale Over the weekend I was "commissioned" to photograph my daughter's family for this year's Christmas card. While I was adjusting the camera position and ambient lighting Ella volunteered to be my test subject while I was tweaking the exposure settings. At first she was all about acting out...

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 →
Untitled (Transition, Winter Storm, China) copyright 2008 Douglas Stockdale - This is the part that drives me crazy. (which is dangerous to say when you live in Southern California).
