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 [...]

Thank you for your response to my post yesterday critisizing the way way certain photo agencies seem content to abuse the rights of indvidual photographers. I am sorry that we misunderstood you. Might that have something to do with upholding a logic that many people find is at odds with your self stated remit of [...] Have you checked out the daily blog Someone Once Told Me? It’s a collection of photographs where the subjects are holding up a phrase someone once told them, that has somehow affected their life. I included it in this list of collaborative photography projects, and was in it last year too (warning, rude words). [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] and then there is the ICO Gallery in New York.

So he wrote to a tonne of us bloggers asking if we’d [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] has been posted by Paul Melcher on the Black Star Rising blog. You can read the full post here. duckrabbit doesn’t entirely agree with him. I think its actually a bit of a cliche that NGO’s only show pictures of despair coming out of Africa. Actually I think a lot of what they show is [...] |
