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 ordered. They [...] 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 [...] 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 a bloody good [...] 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 me everywhere [...] 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 how a [...] 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 room. My [...] 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 morning in about an [...] 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 efforts to [...] (C) David White 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 had all stopped [...] Benjamin 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.¬† I flicked over [...] its Saturday night and I just couldn’t resist: this is a real question by the way I came across on the web. Share [...] 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 what happened on [...] Take a stroll over to EPUK, 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 knowledgeable people. Well [...] 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 Above is a shot I took of young Russian sailors filing [...] 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 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 a respect [...] |
