What they say about duckrabbit: 'One of the hazards of publishing a well-known photojournalism blog - getting multimedia like yours, where the photos are both powerful and moving, and I end up in tears at my desk.'
Alan Taylor, Boston Big Picture)
'David White's multimedia work with duckrabbit is very exciting.'
Kate Edwards (Guardian Magazine Picture Editor)
'I am a fan of duckrabbit. I am not a fan because I agree with everything Ben has to say, but because he says it without frills and then will spend the time necessary to engage the consequent discussions. Such commitment is a priceless commodity.'
Prison Photography
'I met one of them at an academic conference in the summer. He was the sanest person there, but sure enough by damn gadnabbit ruffled more than a few fluffed up peacock feathers.'
The Photography Pages
'If you haven't seen the duckrabbit blog on multimedia you should.'
Stephen Alvarez
'duckrabbit has done another jaw-dropping job with Condition Critical, a highly commendable and important project for Medecins Sans Frontiers.'

‘It has always been a struggle to find support even since I began. Just because magazines and newspapers are going through a difficult period does not reduce the need for great storytelling and I believe now is a perfect time to find opportunity and recreate ourselves for other mediums. I feel it’s a glorious time for [...]

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To
never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of
life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty
to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what
is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. [...]

Words cannot describe how harrowing I just found this Washington Post multimedia piece on the poor maternal and child mortality rates in Sierra Leone. It’s powerful stuff…and the production is measured and doesn’t hammer you over the head with the awfulness of the situation. And there’s no doubt that it’s awful. I have to say that [...]

‘There comes a time in your life when you meet undercover Police for the first time. Either when they admit it to you in some Hotel bar hiccuping over way too much Oban whiskey or when you are caught in a South London brothel being arrested for sex trafficking. My first encounter came while I was [...]

I posted here a few days ago about the incongruous addition of space invaders on the Nikon D3X.
Not to be outdone, Canon fans have been working hard on providing something equally useful/useless on the 5dmkII. Over on his technoblog, camhackerrzz has reverse engineered Canon’s wireless ftp file transmitter (WFT-E4) using the CHDK protocols to provide internet [...]

Legend has it that a stranger bearing good news appeared on a hilltop near what is now Beit Sahour one fateful night 2,000 years ago. Today other visitors are making their way to this tiny Palestinian town just east of Bethlehem, believed to be site of the biblical Shepherd’s Field – where the Angel Gabriel [...]

Probably my favorite blog in the world is THE TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER. No regular readers of that blog, or this one, needs any explanation why.
Today I’m taking a total liberty and lifting completely a post over at The Travel Photographer. Why? Because it’s important stuff and unfortunately you can’t leave comments on The Travel Photographer, but you [...]

The American dream seems to belong to movies, novels and political speeches. For some immigrants in North Carolina, the story is a very different one, closer to a nightmare than to anything else.
Eileen Mignoni depicts in Facing Deportation the impact of North Carolina’s immigration policies on the families of those who are [...]

After a few brews the other night, I got to pressing lots of buttons on my D3X. There are more menu items, sub menu items, sub, sub menu items etc on that camera than on any I’ve ever seen. It’s quite ridiculous really, but hidden away deep in the bowels of the Nikon firmware is none [...]

This is a lovely, slight but evocative portrait of a Chilean fisherman by the talented young multimedia producer Gabriel M. Ortega.
It’s great to see and hear new voices coming out of South America. If you haven’t already you should also check out the work of Chicho Sanchez one of duckrabbit’s favorite multimedia storytellers.
THANKS Gabriel for sharing [...]

It seems that every great photograph is coming out of Bangladesh right now, just when duckrabbit is about to set off there!
Bangladesh Project is a record of Geoffrey Hiller’s year there teaching interactive media. As he explains:
‘Bangladesh is a photographer’s paradise. These images were taken while I was in the capital, Dhaka, on a Fulbright Scholarship [...]

Many great photographers make really bad audio slideshows because they treat audio as afterthought, or they try to do a voiceover without having any presentation skills.
They might as well not bother.
Actually I’d go further then that. When you put your photos together with poor audio you actually diminish the value of your photos.
Good audio is like [...]

A couple of days back duckrabbit and Pete Masters, head of web at MSF UK, sparked off a pretty heated, but good natured debate about a cinema advert that MSF have been running in the UK. Its part of a wider debate about how charities communicate with the world that the think tank POLIS [...]

duckrabbit has been having a debate over the last couple of days about the detrimental nature of some charities communications. A long time ago we labeled it the ‘Africa is f**ked, now give us your money’ approach. Actually that kind of shallow approach is increasingly rare these days.
What we failed to point out is that the [...]
