  We propose a strategy for searching for isolated stellar mass black holes in
the solar neighborhood with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Due to spherical
accretion of the inter-stellar medium and the ambient magnetic field, an
isolated black hole is expected to emit a blended, thermal synchrotron spectrum
with a roughly flat peak from the optical down to the far infra-red. We find
that the Sloan Survey will be able to detect isolated black holes, in the
considered mass range of 1--100$M_{\odot}$, out to a few hundred parsecs,
depending on the local conditions of the ISM. We also find that the black holes
are photmetrically distinguishable from field stars and they have a photometry
similar to QSOs. They can be further singled out from QSO searches because they
have a featureless spectrum with no emission lines. The Sloan Survey will
likely find hundreds of objects that meet these criteria, and to further reduce
the number of candidates, we suggest other selection criteria such as infra-red
searches and proper motion measurements. Estimates indicate that dozens of
black holes may exist out to a few hundred parsecs. If no black hole candidates
are found in this survey, important limits can be placed on the local density
of black holes and the halo fraction in black holes, especially for masses
greater than about $20 M_{\odot}$.
