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.'

Tonight I'm absolutely floored

by a series of posts I’ve just read on Prison Photography about the death of the young woman Fabienne Cherisma in Haiti and the photographers who witnessed this event. The pictures are too graphic for my stomach, but the questions are important.

‘Photographers don’t work in a vacuum and we must demand to turn their images inside out to understand the context in which the images were created.’ Pete Brook


UPDATE From Pete:

Thanks Ben. The article you link to was the first of four. Here are the next three updates. http://prisonphotography.wordpress.com/2010/02/05/more-on-fabienne-cherisma/ http://prisonphotography.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/furthermore-on-fabienne-cherisma/ http://prisonphotography.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/yet-more-on-fabienne-cherisma/

I have been in contact with the photographers involved and I have a lot more information, testimony and images to continue this story. One photographer even believes he has footage of the police officer who shot Fabienne. I hope you and your readers can keep interest in this analysis and story as it unfolds. Pete
