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.'

The Travel Photographer

Thievery, and Volvos.

God damn it. Some bastard has just been round the back of my house and half inched a beautiful and incredibly heavy B20 engine for my ancient Volvo Amazon, and thieved my beloved welder.

I don’t know why I’m telling you.. other than to ask you to keep your eye out down the pub. [...]

Jobs…they’re like buses.

Sort of. Well, not at all actually, but here’s another one….Staff Photo editor for Bloomberg in London Town.

 

Job! And a sweet one at that.

Ey up. Photo editor job for the frankly great MSF.

Photographers…got a good feature?

Heads up. I’ve been asked by the acting features director on UK Marie Claire magazine (Kasie Davies) to put this up for you all:

“I am on the look out for a ‘weird world’ type feature. By this I mean projects that might involve crazy pageants, conventions, people doing strange things that make remarkable [...]

#FF Funky Friday

Well well well. It’s about that time. Amongst the myriad of things to do, Funky Friday must not be forgotten.

Enjoy. swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.youtube.com/v/czpiV4vLrms&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0″, “vvq-20378-youtube-1″, “700″, “567″, “10″, vvqexpressinstall, vvqflashvars, vvqparams, vvqattributes);

Photographers – Want to make a difference? And earn some cash?

Blimey.

Imagine if you could get a job that would really, definitely, demonstrably make a difference. One that tallies with your desires to make the world a better place. One that would also probably allow you to work on those delicious projects that you struggle like hell to fund. A job that makes you feel [...]

#FF Funky Friday

I’m in charge of Funky Friday, make no mistake. So, If I say this Ray Charles tune is befitting, so be it.

It has been missing from the tintertwizzle for many a moon, but I found it again. And boy, what a song. Probably my favourite Ray tune ever, and that’s saying something. From the [...]

Momma’s gonna take my Kodachrome away…

Well, she already has. And now it looks like she could be having your beloved Portra, your faithful Tri-X, your perfect T400cn and all the others. I’m feeling quite emulsional.

 

(Adopts perfect John Peel accent):

“And that, dear listeners, was The Tea Set and ‘Tri-X Pan.’.

And did you know, 99% of Gargoyles [...]

This is what a swinging picture looks like.

A comment attached to this post meant I had to answer with this post. The comment asked, if Lee Morgan was swinging music, what did a swinging photograph look like? At first I thought of ‘Grand Prix de Circuit de la Seine’ by Jacques Henri Lartigue, which is probably a better answer than the one [...]

Quick audio recording tips for multimedia. And a bunny.

Get a decent audio recorder. You don’t have to spend much. See.

Get a decent card or three to go in it. Not that sort. Don’t forget the batteries.

Don’t worry about extra microphones for now. Especially that one.

Record in uncompressed WAV, nothing else.

Get some over the ear headphones, (mmm, they’re [...]

Gimme ten. I know you can.

Here’s another slice of life for you courtesy of Rachel Corner (photography) and Laurens Nijzink (audio). I make no apologies for featuring this work again.

I know ten minutes is a little longer than most photofilms, but if you can’t take ten minutes out of your life to watch then you’re moving too fast.

It’s beautiful stuff

So says Jason Silva at the end of this. I’m not sure he took a breath prior to that conclusion…

Hello. Yes, you. Listen in. Keep Pushin’ On. What else are you going to do?

Where are you going?

Really interesting Q and A with Jason Silva over on Singularity Hub…great thoughts to start the new year on…if you don’t come back, don’t say I didn’t warn you…:)

 

SH: There are many other futurists and techno-optimists out there, what do you hope to add to the discussion through your work? JS: I [...]

Chimp with Chung.

Yawn. More training. But hark! Is that a Chung I hear chimping?

If you want to learn how to shoot video with your dslr from a man with more skills in his big toe than most of us have in both our left feet then this might be for you…I wouldn’t recommend getting trained by [...]

An oldie but a goodie.

This piece that is, not the man Stanley Greene himself, although you can read it whichever way you wish.

His answer to what I imagine was a question like ”What does it take to be a great photojournalist?”

(although it could have been ‘what do you have to deal with if you run over your [...]
