Looking at one photograph at a time
Untitled (Cheesman Park, February 2015) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale While walking through Cheesman Park in the greater Denver area, I could not help but notice this pair of benches under this very mature tree. I am not sure of the age of this tree or these benches as to how long they have been dutifully... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Humboldt Street, February 2015), copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale My first image of my Cheesman Park District series, an older area located in Denver Colorado. I am attempting to investigate this region of historic Denver as to how those who live here preserve memories through the built structures, thus indirectly preserving the past memories, while...

Untitled (Cheesman Park marker) copyright 2015 Douglas Stockdale This last week I was on vacation with my family in Colorado mostly doing some skiing in Vail. Okay, perhaps a bit of photography too, but more about the photography in Vail in a later post. Of interest to me was an opportunity to check out the... Continue Reading →
You might image my surprise when I was poking around Bing images last week in-between events when I did a search on "Contemporary Landscape Photography" to see what might come up and the very first image was....mine! Yep, the photograph above, Winter Field, JiaShan, that I created while staying in the city of JiaShan, China... Continue Reading →
untitled (Anaheim, CA) copyright 2014 Douglas Stockdale - I have been continuing to think about what makes the wider format of the Samsung 4 cellphone camera images so intriguing. Perhaps it finally dawned on me and maybe I'm the last to figure this out but it's a similar wide ratio as to my high-def t.v.... Continue Reading →

That is when I am the one who brings the "big" camera to observe, participate and document the occasion. My nice & Mark Thomas's... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Atlanta, GA #5532) copyright 2013 Douglas Stockdale - One of the fascinating subjects for me are Industrial objects, where form will follow function and how the resulting form will usually have a sophisticated elegance to it. Engineering design is concerned about utility, efficiency, ergonomics, functionality, usability, maintenance, user-interfaces and work flows, thus one of... Continue Reading →
Untitled (Morolo) 2010 copyright Douglas Stockdale - Lately, I have veered away from the urban/industrial landscape in favor of things that are more ambiguous and tighter framed. Nevertheless, I have a ton of earlier work that pricked my soul and this abandoned industrial site, above, in particular. When driving to an assignment, I prefer to... Continue Reading →
Ferentino, Italy copyright 2012 Douglas Stockdale The attempt to preserve memories is more prevalent in Italy than I earlier thought. They can be very subtle and difficult to discern, but this one in Ferentino was very obvious. (Update: the working title of this project has reverted to the earlier version: In Passing)
NoWhereMan, in Transit copyright 2011 Douglas Stockdale - It is always interesting to me when random events collide, as though the almighty has had a delicate hand in it. For those who on occasion read this blog over the last four years will recall that off and on I have been working on a project titled Insomnia:... Continue Reading →
