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.'

Whatever your thoughts on the mass media scramble to Haiti over recent weeks, there’s no denying the effectiveness of this panorama of the destroyed Notre Dame cathedral in Port au Prince, by NY Times photographer Fred R. Conrad.
The archbishop, Joseph Serge Miot, was among an estimated 200,000 people killed in the devastating Jan 12 earthquake.

There’s a bit of a discussion over on the EPUK mailing list about the end game of microstock. Btw, if you’re an editorial snapper you need to sign up to the EPUK list.
The catalyst for the discussion this time is the emergence of spiderpic, a stock image library price comparison site. Alamy are not happy, and [...]

I’m not sure whether the photos here just don’t fly past too quick to take them in. One or two of them were really urging me to stop and think, but before I could get my brain whirring we were somewhere else.
That said this is really strong work in lots of ways and respect to [...]

There’s a lovely set of photos by the other half of duckrabbit, David White, running in the Telegraph (and in the Sun but I’m not allowed to mention that). I love these pics of all the crazy animals that Americans are allowed to keep at homes as pets.
I was a bit surprised however to see the [...]

BBC Radio 4 has been thinking about photojournalism over the past 24 hours:
Are Haiti pictures too graphic?
Save the Children aid worker Ishbel Matheson and former Guardian picture editor Eamonn McCabe discuss the question of “disaster porn” and whether you can tell the story properly without showing graphic images on the Today programme.
Meanwhile, Overexposed

Our old friend the Daily Fail (can you see what I did there…can you?) is trying to make us feel a bit better about our miserable lives by explaining how the kitchen is deadlier than SHARKS.

Most of us in western Europe are guilty of taking our fuel for granted, but our thirst for oil leaves a trail of corruption, environmental degradation and poverty elsewhere. Azerbaijani photographer Rena Effendi followed the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline through her own country, Georgia and Turkey to document its effect on the communities she found. The result is [...]

It’s not often the BBC’s small audio slideshow team really nail it on the head, but they’ve put together something special today.
Portraits of the Fallen tells the story of a Vietnam veteran who gets up at 4am every morning to draw pictures of service men and women killed in Iraq.
As well as excellent use of music [...]

Boston Globe staffer Lane Turner spills the beans:
“The mythology of my profession suggests that photojournalists can reveal subjects in ways most others miss. The camera is credited with the ability to probe personalities, to parse meaning from the chaos of life. Photographers often encourage these beliefs, as the myths imbue the profession with power, mystery, and, [...]

Breaking news here on the duck…The Environment Agency, who until recently (read yesterday) were asking snappers to work for free
(as pointed out here) has backtracked, and said it was going to pay snappers all along.
Bollocks they were.
Well done for all who petitioned MP’s, made a stink, blogged it, whatever.
Here’s a quote from our sponsor, Norman Moron:
“’Balls.”

Can I suggest that every freelance snapper heading to Haiti without an assignment but a dream to have a single image up at a Visa slideshow for 5 seconds, instead spend the $5k another way? $1000 to Haiti relief, $4k to a therapist to find out why stepping over bodies and taking photos gives you self-esteem.
