They hate him but we love him, Who ‘they’ are, we are not exactly sure, but Jonathan Worth would be a hero of the photography world if there was any justice. Not that he would care anyway. Jonathan pisses a few people people off (but makes many more happy) by giving things away for free. [...] duckrabbit is writing this from De Prague, a rather wonderful bar/restaurant in Beirut. Forget that though. I’ve just had the pleasure of sitting through an edit of Ivor Prickett’s work on Gali: Abkhazia’s frontier with Georgia. Some of you may have seen Ivor’s work featured in last month’s BJP. If I come across photos [...]
Pacific Star II from Colin Rich on Vimeo. This is the second trip of my home made high altitude weather balloon photography project, Pacific Star. The balloon was launched at 5:37pm (PST) from Oxnard, CA and reached an altitude of 125,000 feet snapping photos and recording video along the way. The balloon burst, [...] I popped up some interesting words by Stuart on the blog last night, but if you want a masterclass on how a photographer can cover gritty stories, without reducing the people in the photos to freaks for pity and pennies, then spend some time on Stuart’s website. It’s a masterclass in thought provoking reporting [...] “Between 1994 and 2001, the endowment of Harvard University tripled, making the school the wealthiest non-profit in the world, second only to the Vatican. In the same years, Harvard heavily outsourced many service jobs to lower-paying companies, thus resulting in average wage cuts of 30% for the schools’ custodians, food-workers and security guards. In [...] Photo: the last night of the noughties on the hill of Masailand in Kenya- Yasuyoshi Chiba on duckrabbit [...] If you are one of the few who haven’t already taken time to read David Campbell’s post on photojournalism’s future duckrabbit highly recommends you do. Much of what he is saying is both simple and obvious, it’s just some photographers are still aching for a long lost dream whilst fading painfully into history. Others [...] It sucks that the first time you often find out about photographic talent is when they’ve gone. It’s great that their work lives on. Great art will be discovered and re-discovered, buried and uncovered, defaced, replaced, exhumed, resuscitated, reappraised and at some point gradually returned to dust. You can’t own it, there are no pockets [...] Bang. Bang. Bang. WOW. This blew me away. I mean this REALLY BLEW ME AWAY. For more info look here and here. 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!
This week on duckrabbit we’re celebrating the work of the American photographer Joseph Rodriguez. For today’s installment we’re sending you over to RESOLVE where Miki Johnson (who introduced duckrabbit to Rodriguez) is running a fascinating interview with Joseph. It focuses on his work making multimedia with people coming out of the criminal justice system in [...] Your first lesson in photography Last night night there was a 3 a.m. banging on duckrabbit’s window. Joseph Rodriguez’s crazy face pushed up against the glass scaring the shit out of me. “Benjamin”, he said, “get your lazy arse out of bed. You’re coming out for your first lesson in photography.” Joseph drove me around [...] Recently I wrote a post on RESOLVE about the art of the soliloquy in multimedia. The ‘to be or not to be’ moment, when a character in a play steps out of the action and shares their soul with the audience. Shakespeare had it cracked. We want to know what’s going on beneath the skin. [...] |
