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.'

Multimedia producers the Bombay Flying Club have just published their latest piece, shot in Ethiopia.
At 11 minutes, Streetlight is a little on the long side for most armchair viewers, and the Flying Club’s trademark use of rich black and white photographs, while stunning, perhaps steals something from the overall piece. Their use of audio is [...]

Sent to the duck by Ian Forsyth, this multimedia piece looks at the repatriation of soldiers killed on operations whilst in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the thoughts of the residents of Wootton Bassett..a town through which many bodies of these men pass. His piece is an MOD produced handout, maybe the first of its kind [...]

I feel off-balance, and unable to keep up with the pace of the life unfolding in front of me. There are a million obvious images, but none that feel right to a frame. I see and yet I cannot find. I struggle to look, but yet I sense that I am not looking in the [...]

It’s not often the BBC’s small audio slideshow team really nail it on the head, but they’ve put together something special today.
Portraits of the Fallen tells the story of a Vietnam veteran who gets up at 4am every morning to draw pictures of service men and women killed in Iraq.
As well as excellent use of [...]

Because someone has to state the bleeding obvious to all these photographers who want to save the world by taking wonky black and white photos and getting them up in galleries …
If you’re devoted to making it in the art world, you’re not exactly dedicated to making social change…
Which reminds me of something I read [...]

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:

and then there is the ICO Gallery in New York.
Both should be avoided but if I think my career would more be more likely to survive a dose of the plague then a stint on the ICO’s walls.
Intrigued? Read the ever brilliant Mark Page, of Manchester Photography fame for more …

If you are one of the few who haven’t already taken time to read David Campbell’s post on photojournalism’s future duckrabbit highly recommends you do. Much of what he is saying is both simple and obvious, it’s just some photographers are still aching for a long lost dream whilst fading painfully into history. Others will [...]

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 [...]

Adam Westbrook has a great blog on all things to do with journalism and new media. He’s also a contributing editor of duckrabbitblog. Good to see him not just commenting on new media journalism but also creating some of the stuff himself.

Its brilliant that Oxfam have put so much effort into creating an online documentary about the effects of climate change on the people of Bangladesh.
On the upside Oxfam used a local media team who were on the scene when cyclone Aila hit. Respect. There’s also a clear way of responding by sending a message to [...]

According to wikipedia La Stampa (literally “The Press”) is one of the best-known, most influential and most widely sold Italian daily newspapers.
Not that I believe everything I read on Wikipedia!
Good to see though that the Italian Journalist Marco Bardazzi took time out to write about our new website.
Thanks for your kind words Marco and the [...]

A Developing Story, a new website, which duckrabbit has helped get up and running, has been born:
Hopefully the title reflects our desire to create an open space on the web in which stories and images that explore the richness and complexity of an unequal world can find a home.
We will also be campaigning for the [...]
