Ciara Leeming posted this on February 28th, 2012 Mike Davis’ Does Story Telling Lose in Multimedia is a poorly-argued position on multimedia. Usually very helpful with his industry insider’s voice, Davis has not met his usual standards. Shame.
Davis’ logic is flawed. Let me quote (in bold) and question his three-point disappointment.
1. Thou shalt approach subject matter that mostly happened in the [...]

Here’s a project to watch. Photographer Peter Fryer has teamed up with David Campbell, academic and multimedia producer, to create Laygate Stories – a multimedia project focusing on the characters who live in one area of South Shields, north east England. The neighbourhood is a microcosm of 21st century British multiculturalism – populated by [...]
duckrabbit posted this on June 7th, 2011 Lots of craft going on here, in more ways than one.
Kauri multimedia are based in Spain. There is a sweetness and light to their work. Wonderful.
Etienne Bellanger always wanted to be a luthier. At a young age he spent time in a luthier workshop, where he became instantly fascinated and hooked, and [...]
duckrabbit posted this on June 6th, 2011 I love the people at Daylight Magazine. There are few group emails that I don’t treat as spam but every month the Daylight email (letting me know what’s going on in the magazine) gets a well earned click from me.
BUT …
I think we have to try and get away from photographers reading scripts [...]
duckrabbit posted this on May 17th, 2011 For me there is always a story under the story in the best photofilms. James Hooker gets this.
Earlier this year I was invited to spend a couple of days with the undergraduates on the photojournalism course at London College of Communication (alongside duckrabbit’s teaching on the Masters course there). I’m not sure if they [...]

duckrabbit posted this on April 18th, 2011 Those are just a few of the words that come to mind watching Margaret Cheatham Williams’ photofilm Goodnight Moon (first spotted on the excellent Innovative Interactivity).
There’s been a lot of debate around the use of cinematic techniques to film traumatic events. Dan Chung’s video of the aftermath of the Japanese Earthquake is a classic [...]
duckrabbit posted this on April 15th, 2011 This is an astonishing photofilm about how one small fishing community has been affected by the BP Oil disaster. What the photofilm lacks in context about the disaster it makes up for in emotional punch and as good a set of documentary photography as you are likely to see.
I take my hat off to [...]
duckrabbit posted this on March 22nd, 2011 Goddamn this is a project and a half barrel of whisky.
Immense.
Damian Drohan is one of the most committed students duckrabbit has had the pleasure to train. It gives me great honor to introduce you to his monumental project about the unknown, unrecognized Irish veterans of World War 2 (be sure to check out [...]
duckrabbit posted this on March 21st, 2011 Here is a lovely, powerful and thought provoking insight (photofilm) into one man’s journey into blindness.
It was sent to me by Emily Macinnes, a young photography student at Nottingham Trent University, who rocked up to the duckrabbit/rhubarb training at the Format festival on Saturday (cracking event, thanks to all).
Remember that name, Emily Macinnes, [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 25th, 2011 Bruce Gilden’s foreclosure work is essential. I first wrote about it in April 2009 saying,
‘This Magnum in Motion audio slideshow is straight out of the bible. It speaks with the zeal of a prophet.
It’s raw.
Damn Bruce Gilden there is electricity and power in your photographs. Nothing has come close to capturing the [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 8th, 2011 I’ve just been sent the link to a terrific short review of one of duckrabbit’s radio documentary’s that was recently on the BBC World Service.
This is intensely intimate radio- unlike anything I’ve heard for a long time. Dalia Khamissy, a Lebanese photojournalist, returns to Beirut to try to [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 3rd, 2011 If you are a photographer interested in working in the NGO/Humanitarian sector this will interest you.
Next week I am training the communications staff working out of MSF Brussels and quite a few of their overseas staff. MSF have an amazing track record of working with photographers and in Bruno, Julie and Olga they run [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 2nd, 2011 Got a cool email this morning. Samira Hack, who was a prominent voice in the Open Eye documentary and photofilm I made with Joseph Rodriguez got in contact with Joseph with these words:
‘All that I can say is, Finally! I am very pleased with the results that [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 1st, 2011 ‘When people see me they see a criminal Arab guy, that’s the first thing they get in their head. I wake up every day after two o’clock. Go out at three. Three hours later the sun is down. It’s a disgusting feeling. I don’t do anything, I don’t make my parents proud … I [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 1st, 2011 It’s hard to argue with a photographer when they point to a photo of their own that they once loved but now think is a ‘lie’.
Simon Sticker has done just that in an interesting post about a photo he took in Rwanda.
In photography he says, referring to his own pictures, a ‘lie’ [...]

duckrabbit posted this on January 27th, 2011 is a mark of how we should be judged as individuals and as society. Also as a company.
Thank god for the great people at Bombay Flying Club, for caring so much they put their hands in their own pocket to tell this important story of how some refugees are treated in Denmark.
Sobering.
