duckrabbit posted this on April 15th, 2009 This will give you nightmares.
But do you believe it?
The bit about the snake escaping by slithering under the door seems a slippery tale too far … or am I being cynical?
Comment:

hmmm… entertaining… that snake must have been pretty hungry if you ask me… and also remarkably ignorant in the [...]

As a Liverpool fan I can barely watch this BBC audio slideshow by Paul Kerley.
I wish it went a bit deeper into the events of that day twenty years ago, when 96 people were crushed to death at a football match. The cover up by the South Yorkshire police continues to pain the [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 13th, 2009 duckrabbit is sick of the sound of his own voice, banging on about this and banging on about that! Its time our lovely and loyal readers did some of the work.
Actually I’m going to be blunt (just for a change). Photographers appears to live in a slightly sycophantic world. This is worrying. I say [...]

I can’t recommend these people because I’ve never met them, but for those wanting to be plunged into the dark and murky depths of multimedia this course is certainly worth checking out. They have some fantastic people giving the training from the looks of things and are serious about what they do.

duckrabbit posted this on April 12th, 2009 on how to deal with an investigative journalist.
Priceless.
duckrabbit posted this on April 12th, 2009 David White just ordered duckrabbit into his office and gave him the mother of all bollockings. I’m so upset I’m thinking about quitting (again).
Apparently I’ve completely screwed our multimedia competition up (see earlier post) by not including a clause in tiny, tiny, Chinese writing, hidden deep on a page that nobody can see which [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 11th, 2009 If you haven’t seen Days With My Father, then you are missing what I believe is one of the greatest artistic achievements of the digital age.
Actually its so much more than that.
I read on the front page that the subject of the work has just passed away.
So much more than a ‘subject’. [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 11th, 2009 Yeah.
All you need to do is send in $50, and if you can really bothered you can also send in a short film, video. But if you haven’t got a short film video don’t worry you can just send in $50 (so you have the prestige of entering), or even better $200 so you [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 8th, 2009 then its a street photo.”
duckrabbit was blown away by the Bruce Gilden audio slideshow that I featured in a post earlier this week.
I was getting a feeling from his photographs that suggested a real antagonism between himself and the people he was photographing. To me it appeared that he was in some way [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 7th, 2009 For newspapers and media outlets user generated content is problematic. Many have been slow to get their heads round the possibilities of web 2. But here is an example that I find incredibly inspiring because of its ability to deliver amazing diversity of opinion and response.
Mainstream media is now starting to do many of [...]

duckrabbit posted this on April 7th, 2009 OK so one half of duckrabbit has never heard of Bruce Gilden. The other half probably knows him too well!
Its true, I (Benjamin) make no claims to having knowledge of photography or photographers. I’m a specialist in sound.
In some ways though I hope that is one of this blogs strengths. I take everything [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 7th, 2009 British Journalist Adam Westbrook’s blog is a cracking place to start if you want to see a more British take on the multimedia side of things.
That guy is clearly wired up right as this fascinating post on the media’s multimedia response to the G20 summit shows. Click on the text to follow:

duckrabbit posted this on April 7th, 2009 You can’t get away with crap pictures so why do you think you can get away with crap sound?
Just recently I’ve heard some appalling examples. Examples that give you no choice but to either switch off the sound or change websites and hope that the sound doesn’t follow you.
Something else I’ve noticed people [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 7th, 2009 Colin Mulvany is a much loved multimedia producer at The Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Washington. He’s also the voice of the blog ‘Mastering Multimedia’ which duckrabbit wholeheartedly recommends.
I just came across this photo of his in the on-line magazine The Digital Journalist and it stopped me in my tracks. You just have tokeep looking,
[...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 6th, 2009 “Things are going to get worse …”
This Magnum in Motion audio slideshow is straight out of the bible. It speaks with the zeal of a prophet.
Its raw.
Damn Bruce Gilden there is electricity and power in your photographs. Nothing has come close to capturing the anger and the loss and the confusion and [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 5th, 2009 Jack Picone is
1. A great bloke
2. A great trainer
3. A great photographer
I spent some time in Kenya with Jack last year and it was real pleasure. I watched him train first hand and can recommend his courses.
Alternatively if you’re looking to go to another part of the world also [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 4th, 2009 I was hanging with a very good friend, Paul, who is an extraordinarily talented singer songwriter and storyteller.
At about 2.A.M I decided to introduce him to Nick Cave, so I rang him up, but he was in bed and gave me an earful for getting him up. Damn, another celebrity friend down the drain. [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 3rd, 2009 As Ben mentioned below, I have been out this week working with disadvantaged teens and NEETS (not in education, employment or training) running a documentary photography course. Unfortunately I only ended up with three students, when I was supposed to have six, but no matter…I was able to spend more time with the three students [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 3rd, 2009 I can’t recommend that you watch this video of an Afghani woman being flogged. Its very disturbing. Truth is it’s not that different to what goes on behind closed doors in the developing Western world, where women and children are often beaten with impunity.
I should know I was beaten regularly as a child growing [...]
