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.'

“In times when (some) photographers hold celebrity status, it is useful to be reminded that a good photograph does not solely depend on the photographer’s ability to choose the right subject, location and light, but also on the chemistry and the collaboration, between photographer and subject…Despite my deep sympathy for socially inclined photographers, when the [...]

This is a really well produced documentary by Jesse Morgan and a great example of how you can mix up stills and moving images.

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:

The great Stan Banos first emailed me to alert me to a photo story doing the rounds about women who have been attacked with acid. The act is cowardly and the response from the authorities is usually non-existent.
A page of the photos by Emilio Morenatti is showing on Tampabay.com. I struggle a bit with [...]

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.

The headline on the BBC website reads:
In Pictures: Rebuilding Wrecked Lives After Sierra Leone’s civil war
Sounds interesting?
Then I flicked to the set and found another story to the one sold to me in the headline.
There’s nothing technically wrong with Nick Danzinger’s black and white pictures of people from Sierra Leone except that it [...]

If you have no knowledge about East Africa you might actually believe a statement like the one written above presumably by the photographer Stephano de Luigi on the VII website.
I’m wracking my brains to imagine how he (or someone else) could have got it so wrong, and how no-one else has spotted it? Of course [...]

I was recently was given a much coveted copy of Joseph Rodriguez’s East Side Stories. It’s lush. It just re-confirms for me that the best place to see photography is in a book.
Galleries are good, but they often carry an elitist edge and rednecks like duckrabbit can feel a bit out of place.
The computer [...]

Reflecting reality through kisses is a very beautiful way of showing our humanity. I hope you can enjoy this 33 pictures taken by a wide range of photographers, depicted all in boston.com.

The American dream seems to belong to movies, novels and political speeches. For some immigrants in North Carolina, the story is a very different one, closer to a nightmare than to anything else.
Eileen Mignoni depicts in Facing Deportation the impact of North Carolina’s immigration policies on the families of those who [...]

This is a lovely, slight but evocative portrait of a Chilean fisherman by the talented young multimedia producer Gabriel M. Ortega.
It’s great to see and hear new voices coming out of South America. If you haven’t already you should also check out the work of Chicho Sanchez one of duckrabbit’s favorite multimedia storytellers.
THANKS Gabriel for [...]
