I just read that Jade Goody’s spokesperson has a spokesperson themselves and that’s who the media are now quoting as she dies. Not Jade, not her family, not her spokesperson BUT her spokespersons spokesperson, and guess what it makes front page news Anything to fill the space … If I learned anything from Jade [...] I read today that the Pope thinks condoms make the AIDS/HIV problem in Africa worse. If I put down here what I really think about what he said I would be arrested by the Vatican secret police. Instead I am going to post a pic of him I took recently.

If the woman speaking¬† is correct then there are more malnourished children in India than children living in Britain. A lot more 8x more more infact then all the people in Britain put together, and a few extra [...] 3 Weeks – 3,000 Photos (New York City) from Robbie Hubert on Vimeo. The last time the UN held a special session on drugs they did so under the banner ‘A drug free world, we can do it.’ It was in 1998. I can’t help asking myself.¬† Are they idiots or are we idiots for letting them get away with it? The real problem is that there is [...] This is just a quick note to say that I have had my faith in corporate behemoths (partially) restored….I am running a photo documentary course later this month for a small group of disadvantaged teens, homeless and NEETS (Not in Education, Employment or Training), through the Trinity centre in Bristol¬† and I needed some cameras, [...] of hearing about the Israelis and Palestinians blowing each other to smithereens? Fair enough, I don’t blame you, its a depressing cycle. The easy response of the journalist, is just to give in to the apathy of the audience. But that’s not our job.¬† We have to find new ways of illuminating the world, of [...] Out of the ether comes a strange request….can I find a someone in a duck suit, looking peeved, on the underground? Of course. Anything for the loyal duckrabbit readers. Should be easy. Well, what do you know.

I love to make people laugh with a photo..this one shows a trio of Russian sunbathers in St.Petersburg, their backs to the walls of the Royal mint, alongside the frozen River Neva. The bloke in the middle [...] in a long time. It just cracked me and my two boys up. Maybe¬† I should get out more? (no don’t answer that question)
Further to John’s excellent pic below, here’s one I shot on the same night..it’s not of the same quality¬†as Johns’s…he’s nailed it. I was at photojournalism college in Sheffield when I heard about the crash..4 of us jumped into my mini and howled down the motorway as fast as we could..we got to within about [...] A British Midland Boeing 737 which crashed on the M1 motorway at Kegworth, UK, in 1989.

I’ve just been up into the archive (read loft) to have a look for a pic which I will post in a while.

It is the subjects in this pic. They were all at a BNP demonstration somewhere in Leicester, in the late 1980′s. I was working as a snapper for the Leicester Mercury, and had been sent to cover their meeting. That was quite a hairy job, in lots of ways. [...] This is for Peter. Its his voice, his story and his bravery in speaking up for the rights of those displaced by the post election violence in Kenya that made this such a powerful piece. Anyone wanting to know just what an amazing man Peter is should read the article I wrote for the [...] that some of our newer readers won’t have ever seen our work in Kenya. It relies heavily on the photos of Yasuyoshi Chiba and Dolphine Emali. Yasuyoshi has gone on to hoover up a stack of award nominations and awards for these photos. He’s currently working with a Kenyan photographer (of which there are MANY [...] There are many cumbersome ways to kill a man.
