Great photo’s, but if the world is any less fucked for them I’m a coconut. (let’s face it we’re only talking about this award because the winner gets £50000) UPDATE On the Prix Pictet website Kofi Annan has said that, The photographs were a compelling call for action to tackle climate change, the most serious humanitarian [...] Seriously, I’m a big Obama fan and I think he’s done a lot already in reaching out to the world, but it seems a bit premature. America, alongside China and India, is currently responsible for a large proportion of the world’s emissions of co2, the stuff that causes climate change. We’re pretty bad in [...] About this talk 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. About Taryn Simon With a large-format camera [...] Its great to see all the World Press Photo awards on-line but to be honest I don’t think it does the medium any favors.

It’s a recognition that there are fresh [...] Having just seen the winner of The Press Photographer’s Year, I completely understand now why Kenyan photographers get totally pissed off so many of the photography jobs go to visitors to their country (NGO or otherwise). The argument being that outsiders are better equipped to deliver (yeah right). The winners photo was taken in Kenya. The shot [...] That Anna Stevens must be a very humble girl because she forgot to mention on her terrific blog that that she won best multimedia in The Press Photographer Of the Year Award. Well she would have done if that they hadn’t been so backwards and put her name in brackets under that of the photographer. It’s [...] I’m still processing last nights Amnesty International Media awards, for which duckrabbit was nominated in the New Media category. Many of the organizations nominated, including CNN, The Guardian, The Observer and the BBC commented that for them it is the most important awards of all. The one they really want in the trophy cabinet. To tell [...] |
