The Whale Hunt by Jonathan Harris

I was using this with a recent photography class as an example of innovative approaches to visual storytelling. And it struck me that some of duckrabbit’s visitors may not have seen it. So if you happen to be one of the many folks who haven’t come across The Whale Hunt by Jonathan Harris, you might [...]

Joerg Colberg to curate Visa Pour L’image

Everybody knows (and behind his back everybody says) that one of the problems with the Visa, Festival of Shanty Towns, is that it only has one curator, and as time ticks on more and more people are turning blue trying to squeeze into the narrowness of that curator’s mind. (that may sound a bit tough,but [...]

‘Obsession, commitment, love’

‘Obsession, commitment, love‘, that’s how Anna Carter describes her relationship with Carter’s Steam Fair, the largest original touring vintage fairground anywhere in the world.

And that’s exactly what’s on show at a new duckrabbit exhibition at Reading Museum. Our photofilm ‘Fairground Attraction’, is being projected alongside fifty of Rabbit’s wonderful photos that capture the magic [...]

For your viewing pleasure: The Big Caption

As you’ve probably read over the last week, we’re big fans of photo-blogs like the New York Times’ Lens blog, which showcase some of the best photography from around the world each and every day.

Alongside Lens, there’s also the Big Picture, run by the Boston Globe. Again, it shows big images every day from [...]

The Vision and the Voice

A few days back I exchanged emails with the photographer Stephen Alvarez, who for the last fifteen years has shot for National Geographic. He suggested we take the conversation onto our blogs.

If you’re not aware of his work than I would say it is characterized by being both hard won and sublime:

Race, Diversity, Photography: Online Symposium

Ok, so anybody reading any of the blogs with which duckrabbit feels an affinity will know that Pete Brook, of prison photography fame, got fed up with all the daft debate surrounding photography and diversity and has decided to do something about it. So he wrote to a tonne of us bloggers asking if we’d [...]

Taryn Simon exhibits her startling take on photography — to reveal worlds and people we would never see otherwise. She shares two projects: one documents otherworldly locations typically kept secret from the public, the other involves haunting portraits of men convicted for crimes they did not commit.

duckrabbit just came across the excellent blog SLIGHTLY LUCID. Highly recommended.

Hackney Council, what a bunch of morons:

Rhubard with lashings of custard

You know how it is. Friday night you’ve planned to go somewhere but everyone else pulls out. It gets to about nine o’clock and you think can I really be arsed? Nine times out of ten I’d lock myself away but a few Friday’s back I pushed myself out the door to go and have [...]

Dedicated to the one I love

I featured the work of Mishka Henner and Liz Lock on duckrabbit a couple of days ago. I was drawn back to a series on their website this morning called Dedicated to the one I love, which explores the lives of some of the 50000 young people in Britain who have become their parents carers. [...]

Joseph Rodriguez – Where it’s at (part 1)

This week we’re kicking off a new series ‘ Where it’s at’. This is where the finest work we sing about on duckrabbit will go. The stuff that kicks our ass.

Where better to start then with Joseph Rodriguez?

Regular readers will know that duckrabbit couldn’t give a toss about the tedious cult [...]

OOH LA LA – Two students con Paris Match’s photojournalism prize

According to the BJP

‘French magazine Paris Match was the victim of a hoax when it was revealed that this year’s winners of its Photojournalism Award had faked their images.

Every year, Paris Match, which remains one of the last weekly magazine to give predominant space to photography, organises its ‘Grand Prix Paris Match [...]

Ain’t Soft Cities brilliant

I can’t even begin to explain. On the web, as elsewhere, presentation of photography is everything and John Bennett, celebrated author, blogger, has opened my eyes to new possibilities. He’s created a fragment of a poem, that goes by the name of SOFT CITIES … its not perfect yet, but masterpieces and a spot at [...]
