I spent yesterday with a couple of young offenders, aged 15 and 17, trying to teach them a bit about photography. I was working through the Trinity centre, as I did when I was teaching the NEETS a few months ago. I didn’t have long enough with the lads to really teach them much, just to introduce [...] This week on duckrabbit we’re celebrating the work of the American photographer Joseph Rodriguez. For today’s installment we’re sending you over to RESOLVE where Miki Johnson (who introduced duckrabbit to Rodriguez) is running a fascinating interview with Joseph. It focuses on his work making multimedia with people coming out of the criminal justice system in America. Powerful stuff.
Your first lesson in photography Last night night there was a 3 a.m. banging on duckrabbit’s window. Joseph Rodriguez’s crazy face pushed up against the glass scaring the shit out of me. “Benjamin”, he said, “get your lazy arse out of bed. You’re coming out for your first lesson in photography.” Joseph drove me around the dead streets of [...] I shot him. Capa had just given me the mother of all bollockings. I’d got me lefts and me rights muddled and instead of ending up in the throes of battle we found ourselves in a scene out of Heidi. If its not bad enough that a photographers assistant has to work for scratch we’re also expected [...] Recently I wrote a post on RESOLVE about the art of the soliloquy in multimedia. The ‘to be or not to be’ moment, when a character in a play steps out of the action and shares their soul with the audience. Shakespeare had it cracked. We want to know what’s going on beneath the skin. We want to [...] Wow, is that a great bit of PR? Nuts. Adam Westbrook your thoughts please? ADAM: I wondered that too! It’s a nice coup for Rory Cellan-Jones but its rare to see tech stories get so high up. Quiet news morning maybe? Or maybe the editors are giving in to viewer demands…which is worrying, cos I just noticed this [...] Funny, the portrait of Hillary Clinton looked spookily like my Dad in the funeral parlor just before he went up the chimney. No joke. Share [...] PDN contacted two dozen photographers who have been featured in the past year on influential blogs and online galleries to find out how the exposure affected their careers. Increased traffic on their Web sites, invitations to participate in online print auctions, contact from curators and photo editors, placement of images with magazines, and positive feedback and [...] listening to Bob Dylan for the first time in ages. Felt like I could drive forever: And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? Share [...] “The purpose of photography is not to be recognized, but to communicate” Tattoo immediately on back of left hand. Vivian Luu A great quote. I’ve definitely noticed how photographers can stray from capturing an image that conveys a message to shooting photos that shows how good they are at doing what they do. duckrabbit I agree Vivian, which is why I [...] Wind and Tree In the way that the most of the wind Most of the world is centred Often where the wind has gathered One tree will take Their branches that are grinding It is no real fire. Often I think I [...] Artdaily.org is running an interview with Jean-Francois Leroy, the heart, soul and brains of the great photojournalism festival that is Visa Pour L’Image. It makes for fascinating but grim reading. Basically commitment to photojournalism by the world’s media is dead. We already knew that. And as a result he’s struggling to fill the the festival this year. ‘When you [...] |
