David White posted this on November 30th, 2008 Hi everyone. I am very touched by the warm and generous response to my Howlett camera images as featured on the Today Programme and here on the BBC website.. Thankyou all.
In response to many requests for prints of the images, I have decided to put them on my archive so that prints can be [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 29th, 2008 I thought David White, duckrabbit’s photographer, gave a terrific interview at 8.55 on BBC Radio 4′s Today programme this morning( one of the BBC’s most influential news and current affairs programme).¬† David was talking about his project to photograph Brunel’s heritage using a replica of the camera that photographed Brunel. The blog Nigeness has captured [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 28th, 2008 The Today programme is according to wikipedia ‘ the most influential news programme in Britain’, which makes me wonder why has it taken so long to get David White on the show?
Fingers crossed he’ll be making an appearance tomorrow morning at 8.40.
David is a founding member of duckrabbit.¬† If you haven’t noticed he’s [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 28th, 2008 Ever since I discovered her in Bob’s Record Mart, a ramshackle second hand music shop down a back alley in Nottingham, I’ve always felt lucky to have Nina Simone in my life.
Alongside a battered copy of Raymond Carver’s poems, and a Peruvian blanket I inherited from my Sister Becky, Nina travels with [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 26th, 2008 They say that you don’t get much foreign news in America but I’ve watched some really great audio slideshows on American news sites that focus on foreign stories.¬† Who can forget Carol Guzy’s series on women who die in childbirth in Sierra Leone?
In the Los Angeles Times there’s a beautifully presented international story about [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 25th, 2008 Yesterday on duckrabbit I alluded to the fact that I sometimes wish we saw more color photos of Africa, particularly when we see images of conflict.¬† Someone from Australia wrote to me saying ‘who gives a damn what the pictures are shot in, its the message that counts’.
I completely agree, that’s why its important [...]

In the past I’ve been mildly critical of some of Media Storm’s productions, pretty much peerless in production values though they are.
They always look and sound great but sometimes they spend too much time gazing into the beautifully lit features of a photographers face, as opposed to examining their photographs, and sometimes the [...]
David White posted this on November 20th, 2008 Archive, back up, archive, back up, archive, back up etc etc ad infinitum.
Every snapper knows that the above is what you should do in this beautiful digital age. Back in the day however, when dinosaurs still roamed Frampton Cotterell, I kept my precious transparencies in a box behind the comfy chair in my living [...]
David White posted this on November 20th, 2008 Today (20.11.08) is the 10th anniversary of the launch of the International space station.
Quite an achievement..
Above is a audio slideshow of the edit set of pics I shot at Star City, Russia’s cosmonaut training centre, where the cosmonauts were training and preparing for life aboard the ISS. (We threw this together this [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 20th, 2008 Natural writers are few and far between so when I started raving about the words on the blog Reciprocity Failure I was being entirely sincere.
Stan Banos’ blog is so much more intelligent then the pundits who take themselves far too seriously, don’t allow comments (that would be mixing with the riff raff), and whose [...]

Afternoon,
Above is a shot that means a lot to me for various reasons. It was taken half way up Glastonbury Tor back in 2002. ¬†My friend’s baby, pictured far right, was to be named in a ceremony conducted by the local druids, on the morning of the Spring equinox. We [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 19th, 2008 duckrabbit thinks that this is a fantastic example of how to create a sense of place in an audio slideshow.
So many audio slideshows are turned into a borefest by a reporter laconically reading back a script that was written for print and NEVER should be read for audio. Its such a turn off and [...]

I pretty much never watch TV. For most of my life I haven’t even owned one.¬† Not that I have anything against TV, I love it. That’s the problem.¬† No TV, problem solved.
Saturday night though I found I was up in front of one waiting for Match of the day to start.  [...]

Nice to see the excellent website New Radio Strategies turning to duckrabbit for a discussion on whether audio slideshows are the future of radio?
Clearly not.
Radio is the future of radio, but audio slideshows can have an influential role in driving people to great radio.
By the way I’m not the guy in [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 15th, 2008 its Saturday night and I just couldn’t resist:
this is a real question by the way I came across on the web.
David White posted this on November 14th, 2008 Here is a very powerful piece..
All about a set of found images of the devastation wrought upon Hiroshima in 1945.
“The lack of visual evidence of the atom bomb‚Äôs effect has helped us to forget its devastating impact. To see is to remember. Up until now, there have been few publicly available images of [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 13th, 2008 Take a stroll over to EPUK, and have a look at the pic of Einsteins’s brain..
EPUK is a great resource for all photographers and photojournalists, and the heart of it is the email list where togs can ask each other all sorts of business related questions. The members consist of some very experienced and [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 13th, 2008 I shall try to post a pic or two every now and then..today I am going to show you a few shots that I have submitted to the AOP‘s red dot auction in aid of photovoice.. a very good cause, and a site well worth checking out.
Above is a shot I took of [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 11th, 2008 If you haven’t read the blog Reciprocity Failure yet, then you’re reading the wrong blog (painfully honest we are at duckrabbit). Its better then Bukowski. Much.
Yesterday had a classic entry:
Monday, November 10, 2008 Passing Gas… Back in the pre-internet days, I had the privilege of twenty five years of gallery hopping every [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 11th, 2008 To me there is few more moving sounds then that of the Last Post being played.
Over the years I made several documentaries in Flanders, scene of such devastation during the First World war. Those experiences changed me in a way I could not have foretold. Connecting me with the past and instilling in me [...]
