Keeping with the theme of environmental issues, mediastorm’s latest multimedia feature is an exploration of the crisis posed by open-cast mining in the mountains of West Virginia, USA. Leveling Appalachia was put together for Yale Environment 360 and tells the chilling story of how flattening the hills in the quest for coal is also permanently [...] Great photo’s, but if the world is any less fucked for them I’m a coconut. (let’s face it we’re only talking about this award because the winner gets £50000) UPDATE On the Prix Pictet website Kofi Annan has said that, The photographs were a compelling call for action to tackle climate change, the most serious humanitarian [...] shouted out this breathtaking song on twitter we’d see, read and hear so much guff about the developing world? Paul Conneally respect to you for bringing this music into my life, just a shame about the football team you support (Leeds United) Share on Facebook Next week duckrabbit will be on a panel at Amnesty International debating: Alive or dead? The evolution of photography in the digital age. Photojournalism has been on its knees for some time, with newspapers and magazines no longer willing or able to fund international stories that require high expenses. This is a bad and painful thing [...] If you wish to embed this feature on your website, please click here and follow the instructions.

Gray, for both being a regular reader here and [...] “…The death of journalism is bad for society, but we’ll be better off with less photojournalism. I won’t miss the self-important, self-congratulatory, hypocritical part of photojournalism at all. The industry has been a fraud for some time. We created an industry where photography is like big-game hunting. We created an industry of contests that reinforce [...] “I’m a little afraid of the iconic image where everything is settled and final because I don’t think that reflects the world I live in.” rel=”shadowbox” Share on Facebook I have decided to put up a selection of images that I shot in Bangladesh over the couple of weeks that Benjamin and I were there. I have chosen to present this selection in mono as I feel that works best for most of these images. Originally of course they were all spat out [...] Seriously, I’m a big Obama fan and I think he’s done a lot already in reaching out to the world, but it seems a bit premature.
