I'm sure Anthropology has moved on in all forms - think Kate Fox - but my picture-brain obstinately conjures sepia-tinted images of nineteenth-century gentlemen awkwardly participating in cultural rituals which involve elixirs, feathers, corn rattles, and your extremities painted pink. But it was worth it, for a handsome treasure taking pride of place in the Pitt Rivers Museum, and a scholarly write up in Primitives Quarterly. Gotta start somewhere on the Anthropologist's Notebook...
Darnnit. Ain't it true that the camera breaks down just as you're keen to photograph the one based on a moment of exploding time, or the book with fold out flapping wings, or the dish with the mechanical dials and needles that spin round depending where you put the magnets? You'll just have to make do with last season's stock before I set about stitching skin and mending the camera.
