Photographer Martin Usborne had a wonderful idea. Get a stuffed fox, pose it in various places around London, and snap away. Martin tells the story:
The fox had recently died of natural causes (so the man in the stuffed animal shop - 'Get Stuffed' - told me) and had been handed to the taxidermist by the RSPCA. When I got my hands on the thing it was only three days dead and its fur was surprisingly soft. The fox cost more to hire per day than a ferrari and could not be insured against damages as it was so expensive. I spent three days walking around London enjoying interacting with people on the street. The fox was returned undamaged, having enjoyed revisting its old haunts.
