Comments of any kind are welcome! I love snapping photos, but I'm no artist, so I'd love to learn from your comments.

I'm a masters student at the University of Michigan in the School of Information and the Japanese department. I'm studying early Japanese photography as an aspiring archivist and art historian (particularly Ueno Hikoma and photographs from outside Yokohama). If you know of some interesting early Japanese photographs (1853-1880) send some digital copies my way!

Inquiries about photo use for my personal photographs can be directed to: colleen.theisen (-at-) gmail
