If you have followed Duckrabbit over the last couple of years you will no doubt know they produce an excellent blog and exceptional multi-media work. However, their recent work for MSF and Oxfam sits some what uncomfortably with the position they often seem to support. Advocates for the voice of those in the developing world [...]

Save the Children released research this week that claims ‘aid works’. This appears to be more than an exercise in accountability or impact assessment. This looks like the defense of aid in the face of a recession, negative press and a changing world. Part of the response from Save the Children is the video above. [...]

These guys at Brown University are using satellite photos measuring the amount of light omitted by countries as a measure of developed (as a proxy to GDP).

Well, it is fair to say that I haven’t been as active a blogger this year as last. Returning to full time work is the main reason. However, I have also been working on a photo book in my spare time. Although a rather modest project I am rather pleased with it. Basically, I went [...]
