No, really. You are missing out on one of the most beautiful, creative and inspiring workshops I’ve ever known. OK, I have a vested interest, but I don’t do bullshit. The Hinterlands Workshop is exceeding our wildest expectations. We are blessed to be able to spend time teaching and learning from some fascinating students, [...] Like many, I have been glued to my computer watching the epic events in Egypt unfold. Images coming in from all over, different views every day, a plethora of images. Visually I have a great handle on things thanks to the amazing power of the tintertwizzle. I noticed Time shouting that they had an exclusive [...] (amended title because Joerg’s was MUCH better) Take a look at this picture by Damon Winter, as featured on the (excellent) New York Times, Lens Blog, and part of a series featured in the newspaper: The photographs have been taken using an iPhone that automatically applies heavy processing with an iPhone app. On [...] If people have concrete ideas as to how to make anything at Visa or around Visa better, more engaging, more relevant, or more interesting, they should get in touch with us. Think the work we show is bad ? Send us your own, better work. Think Visa is irrelevant ? Come and make it relevant. [...] I am going to start off by asking the question “How can ‘photofilms’ avoid being classified as ‘cheaper films’ by the film community?” I am honoured to be able to be part of this progressive discussion on what happens next for photojournalism. Much negative stuff has come from dealing with the problems of the [...] Making the transition from still photography to videography is bloody hard. There are no short cuts. But rarely has someone made the transition so convincingly as Chinese based photographer Sean Gallagher. Armed with a grant from the Pulitzer Centre he’s been investigating the plight of the Chinese alligator. Watch his short film and then read [...] UPDATE Jean Francois Leroy has emailed duckrabbit to say he will be responding within the next 48 hours. Some of you will have been following the debate about why JF Leroy (Director of the Visa Pour L’Image Festival) has gone to such lengths to give the Haitian photographer Daniel Morel a kicking for uploading 15 [...] Thank you for your response to my post yesterday critisizing the way way certain photo agencies seem content to abuse the rights of indvidual photographers. I am sorry that we misunderstood you. Might that have something to do with upholding a logic that many people find is at odds with your self stated remit of [...] Yesterday duckrabbit published a post criticizing the photo industry for selling a set of pictures of the aftermath of the Haitian Earthquake but refusing to compensate the photographer because he had shared them on a twitpic. Much of my criticism was aimed at JF Leroy, the Director of Visa Pour L’Image (a photojournalism festival). You [...] The case that opens today according to NPPA: In a case that could set precedent in online copyright legislation and impact photographers around the world, oral arguments are scheduled to begin Friday in a New York City courtroom in freelance photojournalist Daniel Morel’s claim against Agence France-Presse. Morel is suing AFP for using, without his [...] Its brilliant that Oxfam have put so much effort into creating an online documentary about the effects of climate change on the people of Bangladesh. On the upside Oxfam used a local media team who were on the scene when cyclone Aila hit. Respect. There’s also a clear way of responding by sending a message [...] A Developing Story, a new website, which duckrabbit has helped get up and running, has been born: Hopefully the title reflects our desire to create an open space on the web in which stories and images that explore the richness and complexity of an unequal world can find a home. We will also be [...] You know how it is. Friday night you’ve planned to go somewhere but everyone else pulls out. It gets to about nine o’clock and you think can I really be arsed? Nine times out of ten I’d lock myself away but a few Friday’s back I pushed myself out the door to go and have [...] |
