We are tremendously grateful to the photographers who gave up their time to be part of this project and allowed their extraordinary images and words to grace these pages – thank you.
Thank you also to their kind and thoughtful colleagues for their assistance with a myriad of requests for files, information, captions, travel advice and cups of tea, all provided with unfailing professionalism and good humour: Kait Burgan, Christine Eckstrom, Kelly Hesburn, Talia Lipskind, Kerry McCarthy, Marcia Skerry, Rachel Woolfson and Rebecca Wright and the team at the Photo Ark studio.
A special thanks to Vince Musi, who generously opened his address book to introduce us to his colleagues.
As always, this book is the result of a group effort by the team at Blackwell & Ruth: Cameron Gibb, Nikki Addison, Olivia van Velthooven, Elizabeth Blackwell and Kate Raven – ngā mihi.
Geoff Blackwell and Ruth Hobday
