So similar to my bumper-to-bumper photographs in my recent drives to San Diego, I used the opportunity... Continue Reading →
Middle Ground, San Diego, 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale I have enjoyed a short breather from my Middle Ground project, an investigation of "Fortress America", a sarcastic visual parody of the current political desire to build a HUGE wall to protect America from the desperadoes of the South.
