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.'
The Travel Photographer

Some time ago duckrabbit ran a silly competition offering $1000 to anyone who could successfully justify to Stan Banos why PDN set up a 22 strong all white photography judging panel.
The competition, and surrounding debate resulted in PDN putting out an apology of sorts. Today I received this comment from the US lawyer Steven Reyes:
‘I [...]

With the majority of multimedia journalism projects emerging from the US and Europe, it’s great to see a slick piece come from Australia.
It arrives in the form of Black Saturday produced by broadcaster ABC, and tells the human stories of the huge bush fires which tore through Victoria in February this year. Here are some things [...]

I know that the New York Times series One in 8 million has been highlighted here before but I just wanted to share this week’s installment, which really touched me. It’s the story of an immigrant family from Bhutan who are trying to adapt to their new home, and it’s just wonderful. The photography is beautiful [...]

This week long mini series by the Globe and Mail is causing quite the stir among multimedia journalists this week. Tracy Boyer’s eagle eye spotted it on the weekend, and it’s had plaudits from the likes of The Travel Photographer and The Bombay Flying Club.
I like it too, for several reasons:
it’s full screen (why hasn’t that [...]

If you believe the following audio slideshow on the Guardian website then the sea level will rise by seven metres if all Greenland Circle’s ice melted.
By the time you read this me and David should be in Bangladesh. Nowhere worth talking about in Bangladesh rises much above five meters, which means the whole country would be [...]

‘A conversational media will begin with the humanity of the person (the subject), not their social ranking. Rather than being looked at by the journalist, it will be generally better to think of the subject as potentially becoming involved in the conversation. (Martin Buber’s I-Thou vs. I-It is a way to get at these differences.)’

Sean Gallagher won Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey’s first Emerging Photographer Fund in 2008, and used the prize to travel to China to photograph the devastating effects of desertification on the most populous country on earth. Since then he has also received grant money to continue his work from the Pulitzer Center for Crisis [...]

The Big Picture brings today a fascinating set of shots I wanted to share with the duckrabbit readers. A colourfull, imaginative, breathtaking collection of kisses. Just as kisses should be.
Reflecting reality through kisses is a very beautiful way of showing our humanity. I hope you can enjoy this 33 pictures taken by a wide range of photographers, depicted all in boston.com.
Maybe this inspires [...]

A photographer whose work I’ve come to admire greatly is Sanjit Das. He and I briefly worked together on a job for the NGO Action Aid in Delhi last summer, and since then I’ve been watching his output with interest – and not a little envy. He is a serious talent.
Anyway, the other day I spotted [...]

Yesterday I pointed out how some American NGO’s are really leading the way in visual storytelling. Somewhere near the top of the pile are Human Rights Watch, a charity who has really got its act together when its comes to getting important stories out onto the internet.
Forbidden: Gays and Lesbians in Burundi is the kind of [...]

Imprisoned Body
Four people who have been incarcerated share their feelings about the experience. The story is built around the body and how it is affected by the prison environment or used as a tool to respond to the situation. There is no frills, no drama, just the naked truth.
Probably one of the [...]

Two of the best are The Open Society Institute and Human Rights Watch.
Why are they so good? Because they are creating seriously good journalism for all the right reasons. They want to educate and inform people about what’s really going on in the world, not just tap them up for cash.
