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.'

The Travel Photographer

Just because

Everyone needs a little boost on a Monday morning, right?

Abundance – a photofilm

What a wonderful idea.

Nothing to do with photography

…just a raw and very powerful blog post that I just read and wanted to share.

Ed Ou and his vantage point

Ed Ou is a sickeningly young, talented and humble Canadian photojournalist who has spent much of the past five years covering stories in Somalia and, this year, the Arab Spring. He speaks with a lot of maturity about his journalism in this Canon interview – well worth a quick listen.

A photo’s worth 1,000 words? WPP discussion

Remember Bibi Aisha, the Afghan woman whose Jodie Bieber portrait was put on the front of Time Magazine along with a controversial jingoistic strapline?

Well, the whys and wherefores about how other people’s words are used to contextualise photographers’ images will be considered at a World Press Photo discussion later this month.

Anyway, here [...]

Explosions in Oban

I think Ben would say that they should have used a windshield. But we can forgive the crummy sound just this once. £6,000 worth of fireworks going up in smoke in about 30 seconds in Oban, Scotland, is a sight worth seeing.

Saving a nation’s memories

As well as being the 10th anniversary of 9/11, tomorrow also marks the six-month anniversary of the devastating Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

Male rape – Guardian photofilm

When I watch a photofilm in which the audio features the photographer talking about their images, I often switch off quite quickly. But when I heard Will Storr talk about his project on male survivors of rape in Congo and Uganda, I didn’t – in fact I was stopped in my tracks. I [...]
