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.'

Last NCTJ photojournalism course closes down - epic fail

According to the BJP, the last National Council for the Training of Journalists course for photojournalists has been scrapped.

That is terrible news. I was incredibly lucky to get on that course 20 odd years ago. It set me up for life, so far at least.

There will be a statement from the college later today to explain the reasons.

The loss of that course is really sad news for all aspiring press photographers and future photojournalists. I hope something can take it’s place.
I also wish Paul Delmar a happy retirement.

    It’s hard to share your disappointment.

    I could never understand how learning to be a Brit press photographer could possibly take up a year of anybody’s time. I mean, how hard is it to learn to use a camera? Or is that covered in the first hour, and the rest of the course covers cheesy ‘phew, what a scorcher’ captioning, a beginners guide to mockney for bonding with the pack, plus the fine arts of the doorstep and the clumsily staged set-up?
