Ooooh…how exciting. Hold on to your pants. I was just trying to put back on an old rear lens cap on one of my nikkors. The poor little cap is knackered, and won’t stay on. In four days time it will be the anniversary of old Albert’s birth. This fact reminded me of a pic I shot a little while ago…a stonemason here in Bristol – Mike Blow- phoned me up and told me that he’d made an exact replica of Einstein’s brain out of marble. And not just any [...] This little story bought back a memory for me. Years ago, whilst a young, junior snapper on the Leicester Mercury – my first job – I was captioning my prints outside the darkroom when the editor marched up, howling, as he was want to do. Alex his name was, and everyone was terrified of him, [...] Duckrabbit can be the first to tell you that the terms and conditions to the ‘Science: so what‘ photo comp have been radically altered to the benefit of all participants. It’s great to know that we can affect these things. I would like to thank the elusive ‘Frank’ for all his efforts. Here is the [...] I’ve been trying to talk to ‘Frank’ for a while now. The government urge us to do so, but I’ve found him deaf as a post, and rather naive. All I want him to do is address the concerns many have over the ridiculous and greedy ‘Science so what’ photo comp…you know, the one where [...] In case you missed the post about the recent “Science, so what competition” it’s down the page a bit here. Here’s a nice competition, woo, you get to win a camera. I could do with one of those. “Can [...] Would you pay $30 – a month – for an app to let you read a newspaper? Thought not. But according to this, that is being seriously considered. Here is old school vs new in one neat package. In the same building in fact, maybe even the same office. Very interesting. This internet malarkey might have [...] My MP, Kerry McCarthy, has not yet bothered to respond to the information I sent her regarding the Digital Economy Bill. If you have not written to your MP about this yet, you must, please. And use this template…best if you [...] Uzbekistan have done themselves no favours on this one…they found photographer and documentary maker Umida Akhmedova guilty. Luckily for her, the judge decided that as it was the, er, 18th anniversary of Uzbeck independence, he would waive the potential three year prison sentence. Phew, what a lucky coincidence. I doubt her ‘let off’ had anything [...] Photography is f$cked. From Tony Sleep. Originally on the EPUK list. “The quaint notion that the author has prime and inalienable rights over The end game is now in [...] Gil Scott-Heron and Robert Frank…Well, who’d have thought it. Check it out then listen to Gil’s new album below. ” I may be crazy, but I’m the closest thing I have to a voice of reason” What a line. Play it…..’tis as good as you dared hope it might be. Funky widgit [...] The set of pictures below are by Rajib Islam, one of the duck’s greatest friends, an amazingly talented man, a true gent and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. If you ever need a good man in Bangladesh, or anywhere, he is it. How’s that for an intro Rajib? Hopefully he will be putting [...] Andrew Bigosinski, Director of the Cine Institute film school, Jacmel, has recently posted a comment clarifying their position regarding certain “Photo Aid” projects in Haiti: “The Cine Institute of Jacmel has not agreed to partner in any “Photo Aid” projects. This is a misrepresentation of an agreement we had prior to this great crisis and no [...] |
