Jane Ussher was awestruck by the huia. She set up her lights in the corner of Te Papa's crustacea store, and for two weeks a succession of curators and collection managers like a conveyor belt brought her wonderful things on a conveyor belt to photograph. In her introduction she describes the two weeks stretching into three as there was just so much amazing /stuff/. to see. The museum staff patiently answered her questions and humoured her desire to arrange shells and wrens into decorative patterns, and her unfeigned gratitude to them gushes from the page. It's obvious this was one of the highlights of her career, and her photographer's eye jumps greedily from iridescent feathers to handwritten labels to the old newspapers specimens were wrapped in.
