Writing Here:       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.' '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.' 'If you haven't seen the duckrabbit blog on multimedia you should.' 'duckrabbit has done another jaw-dropping job with Condition Critical, a highly commendable and important project for Medecins Sans Frontiers.' Categories

This is a powerful photofilm by Eric Johnson. Some strong photographs and perfectly recorded audio, proving once more that a simple approach is often best. ‘The 30th Street Men´s Shelter, otherwise known as Bellevue, is New York City’s largest homeless shelter.

‘Obsession, commitment, love‘, that’s how Anna Carter describes her relationship with Carter’s Steam Fair, the largest original touring vintage fairground anywhere in the world. And that’s exactly what’s on show at a new duckrabbit exhibition at Reading Museum.

It’s one of people’s worst fears. To either lose your mind or watch the mind of someone you love slowly disappear. Phillip Toledano explored this photographically in his thought provoking website and book Days With My Father. The work is amongst the best you’ll find on the web.

One of the great things of being an occasional teacher on LCC’s photojournalism masters is the talented students you get to meet. Much of the work is very inspiring. This ninety second (that’s all they were allowed) photofilm or Eyecue, by Huiying Hu is one of my favorites and is perfectly timed for the world cup.

A couple of days ago David put up a post about ‘Something Beautiful’, a very personal photofilm by Ore Huiying. At the time I didn’t realize that Ore is one of the students I’ve been teaching at LCC (its a large group).

A few days ago I had the pleasure of watching back in class the work of some of my students on the Masters in Photojournalism at the London College of Communication.

One of the hardest things about working for yourself as a journalist or producer is keeping in the habit of finding, researching and producing stories. At first, you’re not as exposed to them as much as you would be in a newsroom. Inspiration is hard to come by. Good contacts even harder. It’s easy this way to find [...] May 16th, 2010 | Tags: Adam Westbrook, audio slideshows, duckrabbit sites, journalism, multimedia, Multimedia Journalism, Projects, Vimeo | Category: Adam Westbrook, Audio Slideshow, documentary, journalism | Comments are closed

I was once spent a night in Blackpool when I was making a programme for the BBC about the fate of race horses when they can no longer win races. The programme was almost as depressing as Blackpool, but not quite.

The BBC have featured some pretty surprising audio slideshows about life in Gaza and the West Bank, not least one duckrabbit features before about Palestinian Bagpipers. Here’s an audio slideshow that will get Rabbit salivating (being an owner and restorer of classic cars): Israel and Egypt’s blockade of Gaza means there are very few new cars in [...] April 16th, 2010 | Tags: Audio Slideshow, BBC, Gaza | Category: Audio Slideshow, documentary, duckrabbit, human rights, journalism, multimedia | 2 comments - (Comments are closed)

When Duckrabbit gave a mention to Carousel SlideSlam, Foto8′s new evening for photographers and multimedia producers, the warning was it: “could either be utterly sublime or pretentious crap.” With such a plug I just had to go along to see for myself. And the verdict: while it wasn’t utterly sublime, it was about as far from pretentious crap [...] April 13th, 2010 | Tags: Adam Westbrook, Audio Slideshow, Carousel SlideSlam, foto8, George W Bush, host gallery, Jocelyn Bain-Hogg, Magnum in motion, Panos, Stephen mcClaren, VII, vii agency | Category: Adam Westbrook, Audio Slideshow, documentary, duckrabbit, journalism, multimedia | One comment - (Comments are closed)

Another powerful audio slideshow by the Paul Kerley of the BBC.

From 1957 to 1965, legendary photographer W. Eugene Smith made approximately 4,000 hours of recordings on 1,741 reel-to-reel tapes and nearly 40,000 photographs in a loft building in Manhattan’s wholesale flower district where major jazz musicians of the day gathered and played their music. The work remained archived until recently, but last year a book was [...] March 20th, 2010 | Tags: jazz loft project, New York Times, w eugene smith | Category: Audio Slideshow | Comments are closed

There’s a bag piper who stalks the streets of Kings Heath, where duckrabbit lives. Well there was until he disapeared a few weeks ago.

duckrabbit are teaching a short module focusing multimedia storytelling on the Masters photojournalism degree course at LCC (starting tomorrow) Paul Lowe, who heads up the course, is a great supporter and advocate of digital storytelling. The fact that he wants to prepare students for life after print is rare amongst university educators (nudge, nudge Newport). Anyway I’m going to put up the links to the pieces that we’ll be discussing in lesson one here on the blog. Hopefully some of the students will leave comments as well (other readers feel free to comment).

I have to say, I think Magnum in Motion are really on top of their game at the moment. For something like the third time in as many weeks they’ve produced a beautiful little multimedia piece, this time about 2nd tour soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shot by Peter van Agtmael – do check it out.
