house dust did some searching on technorati for Yuko Nishimura and I found that future feeder posted a link! great to see the word being spread. followed another link, and saw this blog which had not only a nishimura photo, but a photo from my flickr account! that was pretty pleasing to see, even if I can’t understand anything on the page.
