Expiration Notice

duckrabbit regulars will know that we have more than a soft spot for Mark Page and Stan Banos.

They are the bloggers we would most like to get mistaken for.

So do check out their new web venture and in particular a haunting set of pictures by George Geogiou- Hidden: Psychiatric Institutions in Kosovo [...]

Dying for a flat stomach

duckrabbit followed this link from photojournalism links about a new book by Paolo Pellegrin: As I Was Dying to be taken to a website called SLATE, where Paulo gave this explanation of his book:

just beneath was this set up advertisements:

The sad truth is people are more interested in a flat stomach [...]

BBC audio slideshow – Lalibela, surely one of the wonders of the world?

duckrabbit thinks Karoki Lewis makes a excellent traveling companion to one of the great wonders of the world, the rock hewn churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia.

Rarely do slideshows give you a sense of ‘being there’; the audio more often than not tagged on as an afterthought. Not so here.

I lived in Ethiopia for [...]

Stuck for inspiration when laying down text in multimedia?

I frequently am.

Check out Desiree Perry’s (terrific multimedia producer at St Petersburg Times) latest post which is smack bang full of inspiring examples.

I Left my Heart at Photography Lot

I’m a big fan of the blog Photography Lot, not least because its mainly written by the British photographer Tom White who is a thoughtful and perceptive writer. I don’t know about you but it always makes me feel better about life just to sense that there are people like Tom about.

The golden rule [...]

Children of Jaffna

I’m sat here early in the morning in my cosy warm house, cat on my lap, dog by my side. The television’s on, I can’t sleep but that’s about the only ‘problem’ I’ve got. I am a lucky sod, and I try not to forget it.

I have just seen a report on the news [...]

Audio Slideshow – Faded seaside glamour part two …

Damn duckrabbit should have put this in the last post because they sit together like brothers. Again its a portrait of the British seaside, this time Brighton’s famous second pier. Famous mainly because its seen better days … much better days.

I love the use of audio. Take away the captions and you have a [...]

This audio slideshow would make Morrisey proud …

As a kid there was nothing more exciting than a rare trip to the wet, windy and cold seaside.

We grew up in the middle of Britain, a long way from the waves.

For most of the urban population of Britain seasides are places of faded glamour where as Morrisey so famously put it ‘everyday [...]

Guardian audio slideshow – The Iranian Revolution:

’30 years on, its legacy still looms large’

This audio slideshow on the Guardian proves what an great educational tool audio slideshows can be.  It really is an example of radio with pictures:

Three decades after the Shah was deposed and Ayatollah Khomeini launched his Islamic revolution, Middle East editor Ian Black looks back at [...]

if duckrabbit was stuck on a desert Island and could take one blog

along with us it would be the Travel Photographer.

Proving that great, concerned travel photography and photojournalism are often indistinguishable.

Written with generosity of spirit,

The Travel Photographer is a conductor of Wanderlust,

a Magna Carta of diversity and

above all else a celebration of hope.

Be

in

awe.
