Milton, Bangladesh's very our Basil Fawlty bids us farewell… I’m sat in Crystal Coffee in the car park of Medan’s International airport where it’s surprising to learn that I can’t get a straight black cup of coffee. Surprising as I have just left Aceh in the north where I tasted the most beautiful locally [...] A boy holds his younger brother in Khulna, Bangladesh where there are over 34 million children living in poverty. © Mike Lusmore It’s plain to see that people here in Bangladesh don’t have as much money in their pockets as the average westerner. The majority of children don’t get the education, nutrition and the [...] A room with a view…Shrimp ponds in Bangladesh. © Mike Lusmore I’ve been in Bangladesh for just over a week now and in that time seen some wonderful things, met some lovely people and experienced some things I probably never would have anywhere else in the world. To add to that I have on [...] It’s been a a bit of a trek getting out to Bangladesh where I am working with Benjamin for a few weeks and if I thought the trekking was over I was wrong. The transport here in Khulna is slow progress and the roads would keep the highways agency back in the UK busy [...] 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.

If you only look at one thing on the web this week go here. If you are a blogger please spread the word on this amazing work. Paul Close, duckrabbit salutes you!

I am trying to imagine the shock of a nuclear bomb taking out your city at the moment you sit down for breakfast. It’s not really the kind [...] John Bennett’s photographic poem to London life. Today this photo by Claire Hutton caught my eye. You could see it but instead Claire has written to say: ‘Duckrabbit you are very, very naughty, bad people for taking one of my photos that I’ve published on-line for everybody here to see and then putting it on [...] So said the Henry Miller. It’s with a rush then that I’ve just taken in GMB Akash’s photo set Take me Home: Due to Bangladesh’s large population, inadequate seats on the trains and poverty, it is quite common to see a thick layer of people occupying the roof of a train.
