duckrabbit posted this on March 30th, 2010 I’m a bit mystified by the discussion around the new content fill tool that will come with CS5. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about on the Photoshelter website:
The addition of the “Content-Aware Feature” to the upcoming Photoshop CS5 is a potential ethical nightmare for photojournalists, photo editors, and photo buyers alike. [...]

We’ll be delivering a training. Give us a shout if you want to meet.
David White posted this on March 29th, 2010 This is great work. You’re not getting content like this in your ‘paper.
Spend a few minutes please listening to and looking at a few personal stories, it’s worth your while. Gideon Mendel’s portraits are wonderful, as ever, but the real power comes from the work of the individuals. Powerful, important work with a great [...]

and now I’m fighting back the tears.
David White posted this on March 28th, 2010 Was having a chat with my lad today..he’s eight. He said they’ve been learning about drugs at school. All good. I asked him what drugs he had learned about:
“Cocaine” he said.
Blimey, thought I, but fair enough. Anything else? I asked..
“Calpol” came the reply.
It’s those blinkin’ three year olds in nursery that [...]

Two months after the earthquake, Haitians at all levels of society are trying to get back to normal life in very difficult circumstances. An audio slideshow from the New York Times, featuring the photos of Lynsey Addario.
duckrabbit posted this on March 28th, 2010 In its purest form, a newspaper consists of a collection of facts which, in controlled circumstances, can actively improve knowledge. Unfortunately, facts are expensive, so to save costs and drive up sales, unscrupulous dealers often “cut” the basic contents with cheaper material, such as wild opinion, bullshit, empty hysteria, reheated press releases, advertorial padding and [...]
duckrabbit posted this on March 27th, 2010 “What purpose did any of it actually serve?” he asked early on. “People talk about the [Nick Ut] photo of the Napalm girl and say it changed things but the Vietnam War went on for three years after that. What do these pictures do? What good do they do? I’m asking myself that question. [...]

duckrabbit posted this on March 26th, 2010 There’s a wonderful gallery of images from the civil rights movement in America running on the New York Times Lens blog. Some of these images have never been seen, locked away in law archives but will be on show from March 28 to August 11 at the Bronx Museum of the Arts.

duckrabbit posted this on March 25th, 2010 The devastation caused by TB is a rarely told story. For many people in the developed world TB is a disease consigned to history. If only. Two million people still die every year from TB.
To mark TB day the BBC is running this powerful and informative slideshow featuring the photography of David Rochkind, [...]
duckrabbit posted this on March 24th, 2010 Before I joined the BBC the one news programme that I would always try and catch was the World at One on BBC Radio 4. It had in Nick Clarke the best news presenter and in Kevin Marsh the best Editor. Kevin went on to take charge of the Today Programe, arguably Britain’s most [...]

My personal approach in photographing in socially sensitive situations is to shoot candid moments first (because I am well practiced people often don’t know I have photographed them but it is more then that it is also that this is where the most uncorrupted and beautiful [...]
duckrabbit posted this on March 24th, 2010 ‘There is a decades-old criticism of the “outsider,” most often journalists from developed nations, arriving in underdeveloped nations to tell the story of “insiders.” Whether HIV/AIDS in sub–Saharan Africa, conflict in the Middle East, violence in economically depressed U.S. inner cities, poverty and alcoholism in Native-American communities or, currently, victims of the earthquake in [...]
Ciara Leeming posted this on March 23rd, 2010 Professor David Campbell debunks the idea of ‘compassion fatigue’ at the Third Frame conference two weeks ago in London. For me this was the most interesting presentation in a day of great talks, aside from Benjamin’s which was crap. If you have 15 mins spare, do check it out…very thought provoking. Other talks from the [...]
