Different. Really.

My mother has been digging through some of her old files (is “pack rat” a genetic affliction?) and found several folders of material from the late UH professor and nutritionist Carey D. Miller.

Miller, who died in 1985, arrived at the University of Hawaii in 1922, if I recall correctly, and was a prominent member of the Manoa faculty.

My mother studied with Miller and then worked on her staff for several years after she graduated. They remained lifelong friends.

Tucked away in these folders were a number of tiny contact prints from B&W negatives taken during assorted travels, as well as a few interesting letters. I’m just starting the process of scanning.

This first experimental batch of scans, made from the tiny versions, show the production of kimchi (her spelling) in Korea during a 1937 trip. Click through the photos. I hope you’ll find them as interesting as I do.

Apparently these were taken during an around the world trip, with stops in Korea, Japan, China, Bali, and various stops in Europe. I’ll continue scanning photos as I get time.
