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.'

Climate change Bangladesh

David White, photographer posted this on November 29th, 2009

G’day.

Couple more pics for you from Bangladesh. The first one shows the boat we were on approaching the village and island of
Jafar Koloni, Madanpur union. The people who live on the island have to build their huts on stilts because the water levels rise so high that they have no land for 8 hours a day. We arrived at low tide, hence the visible land. On our return a few hours later the hut in the background was the only thing visible above the water.

The second pic is a shot of some youngsters reflected in a pool that had formed due to locals removing mud to build a barrier against the rising water levels, Alimoddi, Bhola island. Now. I don’t know if what I have done here is ‘legal’ or not in a photojournalistic context..probably not, can you tell how I’ve been naughty? this could cause a major split in the international world of photojournalism. Agencies will be divided, photographers will be fighting each other in the streets, throttling each other with their kefiyehs. And all because I turned the image upside down. Whose side are you on? What is the world coming to? I think we should get more worked up about me turning the pic upside down than we are about climate change.

Just to clarify…there was rather a large dose of irony in that last sentence…
