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, [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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, [...] Funny, the portrait of Hillary Clinton looked spookily like my Dad in the funeral parlor just before he went up the chimney. No joke.
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 [...] 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? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’, Heard the roar of a wave that could drown [...] “The purpose of photography is not to be recognized, but to communicate” HCB 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. [...] To duckrabbit that would be putting it politely. Wind and Tree In the way that the most of the wind Happens where there are trees, Most of the world is centred About ourselves. Often where the wind has gathered The trees together and together, One tree will take Another in her arms and hold. Their branches that are grinding Madly together and [...] Go on send it on to someone else who is having a bad day … (c) Stan Banos On Reciprocity Failure 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 [...] |
