duckrabbit has had a baby

and it’s called:

The talented John Bennett has been the brains behind the site. You’ll be hearing lots more about adevelopingstory.org in the coming months but right now we’re just interested to hear what you think?

‘The concept is simple – to explore the use of visual media – primarily photography and video – in social activism. During 2009 the project will look to engage with organizations and communities in Asia. However, examples of work and initiatives from around the globe will also feature. This site is for sharing experiences, [...]

duckrabbit recommends dodge and burn

‘Taking it’s name from a darkroom/photo processing technique, the Dodge & Burn Blog is dedicated to DIVERSITY in PHOTOGRAPHY. My posts reflect PHOTOGRAPHY HISTORY as I would have loved to have learned it and CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY as I see and value it.

Dodge & Burn photography blog will highlight what is often “dodged” from [...]

An email from Stan Banos of Reciprocity Failure notoriety (see links) titled 'uh .. oh' can only mean one thing

Either Stan has finally challenged Joerg of Concientious to a game of Twister , or someone, somewhere is kicking off.

In this case its a typhoon of a post by Sebastien Boncy that can be found on Amy Steins blog.

When Sebastien pretty much opens with these words you know punches won’t be pulled:

‘Let’s [...]

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

Typhoon Ketsana, on Boston Big Picture Blog

An incredible set of pictures.

Photography dead anyone?

INCLUSIVITY and photography – a thoughtful response

Some time ago duckrabbit ran a silly competition offering $1000 to anyone who could successfully justify to Stan Banos why PDN set up a 22 strong all white photography judging panel.

The competition, and surrounding debate resulted in PDN putting out an apology of sorts. Today I received this comment from the US lawyer Steven [...]

Black Saturday: the Aussies get involved

With the majority of multimedia journalism projects emerging from the US and Europe, it’s great to see a slick piece come from Australia.

It arrives in the form of Black Saturday produced by broadcaster ABC, and tells the human stories of the huge bush fires which tore through Victoria in February this year. Here are [...]

shifting sands – desertification in China

Sean Gallagher won Magnum photographer David Alan Harvey’s first Emerging Photographer Fund in 2008, and used the prize to travel to China to photograph the devastating effects of desertification on the most populous country on earth. Since then he has also received grant money to continue his work from the Pulitzer [...]

So it’s no surprise that despite being ordered released by the Iraqi courts, Iraqi [...]

‘There comes a time in your life when you meet undercover Police for the first time. Either when they admit it to you in some Hotel bar hiccuping over way too much Oban whiskey or when you are caught in a South London brothel being arrested for sex trafficking. My first encounter came while I [...]

Charities, journalism and PR

Adam Westbrook was one of a number of bloggers who followed up on duckrabbit’s post on MSF’s new cinema advert with a much wider analysis of how charities communicate:

‘At the heart of this lies the important question of how charities choose to spread their word. The public generally are now far less trusting of [...]

Boston Big Picture: Typhoon Morakot

In typically brilliant fashion BOSTON BIG PICTURE is running a series on typhoon Morakot, which has been battering vast areas of Asia.

And death came along …

I am trying to imagine the shock of a nuclear bomb taking out your city at the moment you sit down for breakfast. It’s not really the kind [...]
