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.'

I was recently was given a much coveted copy of Joseph Rodriguez’s East Side Stories. It’s lush. It just re-confirms for me that the best place to see photography is in a book.
Galleries are good, but they often carry an elitist edge and rednecks like duckrabbit can feel a bit out of place.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I read a comment on Lightstalkers by a photojournalist who said that growing up in London twenty years ago he wasn’t aware of any racism. It’s typical of a revisionist version of the world that has been prevalent in the comments sections of many photography blogs the past couple of months since Stan Banos [...]

Either Stan has finally challenged Joerg of Concientious to a game of Twister , or someone, somewhere is kicking off.
In this case its a typhoon of a post by Sebastien Boncy that can be found on Amy Steins blog.

We go in much more for those anal sites where men on varying degrees of the autistic spectrum get excited by the sizes of each other lenses.
That said we’ve upset too many egos in the last year to turn a complement down.
So thank you Scott W. Gray, for both being a regular [...]

“…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 [...]

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.
America, alongside China and India, is currently responsible for a large proportion of the world’s emissions of co2, the stuff that causes climate change. We’re pretty bad [...]

‘The boys at Christ Child House, a sort of modern-day orphanage on Detroit’s west side, represent just a sliver of Michigan’s foster care system and its more than 6,000 legal orphans. As they wait to be reunified with their own families or find new lives with adoptive parents, the boys grow up together sharing [...]

Yesterday duckrabbit pointed out the success of a rather brilliant advertisement for the military might of the Chinese Communist party by Dan Chung.
Chung has been in touch to let duckrabbit know that as a typical Westerner I’m totally out of touch.
His response (in bold) is worth considering. He’s annoyed by my claim [...]
