Looking at one photograph at a time
Denver 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale I found this to be an interesting urban landscape while we were walking a little bit of Denver (Colorado) this past week.. The Fall colors in conjunction with most of the leaves now laying on the ground, that in turn reveal the older house that was probably hiding behind the shrubs... Continue Reading →
Tracks (Roadside Remembrance series) copyright 2016 Douglas Stockdale - Earlier this month I had a mini-exhibit at Photo Independent (Los Angeles) and subsequently posted that due to some really good feedback, that I was going to radically alter the direction of one of my in-process projects. So a little bit about that today and not that... Continue Reading →
Camino Capistrano, San Juan Capistrano, California, 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale In my last post discussing my evaluation of a new work flow for Photoshop CC, what was implied, but not really stated was that one of the key CC attributes under evaluation was the conversion of my color digital photographic files to Black and White...

I-5 Rest stop, near Oceanside, CA 2016 copyright Douglas Stockdale Unlike my earlier international travels as part of my day-job, my recent trips are more about a series of local day-trips either driving down to San Diego or up to Los Angeles. Both of these locations, as well as many of the places in between,... Continue Reading →
A-41, Tattenhall, England (Roadside Remembrance) copyright Douglas Stockdale On my list of to-do's is to find some funding to support the publication and exhibition of my roadside remembrance memorials project. Here in the US, there are a couple of avenues to journey down in order to obtain a grant (e.g. gift, not a loan) and at... Continue Reading →
A-1, Colloferro, Italy 2012 copyright Douglas Stockdale It seems to me that I have an easier time determining what I want the resulting photograph to look like than determine the title (caption). Such is the chaos of the creative process. For my roadside memorial and remembrance photographic titles I think that I have been all... Continue Reading →
untitled (Colfax Street, Denver, CO) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale While I was working on my Roadside Remembrance series in Denver Colorado over the Thanksgiving weekend, I had an opportunity to develop a Surrealist photograph. Knowing of Henri Cartier-Bresson's compositional practice of arranging a potential image and then waiting for someone or something to happen, I had... Continue Reading →
Morning Shadow, Denverton, California, 2007 copyright Douglas Stockdale Following up on yesterday's post with a little more information about how my Roadside Remembrance series is being reconsidered as a Black & White portfolio. This series of roadside memorials was starting to get a little traction in 2008 and I felt it had potential to go beyond the... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Cheesman Park, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale Earlier this week I posted another vision of this photograph, one that has a little more dramatic interpretation of this same composition. Many might consider this the more representative version, not entirely banal, but with some metaphoric vestiges. This is part of my investigation of memory, how... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Humboldt St, Cheesman Park District, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale There is something about the circa 1910 window casements that connects with me, probably as this reminds me so much of my Grandparents house in western Pennsylvania. A window makes a wonderful metaphoric subject, but as a genre, it is on the edge... Continue Reading →
