A letter for Mr. Ahern

Mr. Ahern:

I was a student of The Art Institute of the National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan.

I did my research of Berenice Abbott's photos while she came back from Paris, the New York's City photos. In2002-2003, I went to Ann Arbor, New York, Boston to study the archives of Berenice Abbott. Thanks for Barbara from The Brooklyn Museum of Art.She let me see Berenice photos and explained how different New York City is between 1930s and 21 century. Thanks for Bonnie Yochelson's invitation for going her home, while we only talked on the phone for more than 1 hours. Thanks for Mia in the Metropalitan Museuam of Art, she let me see 11 boxs of Berenice Abbott's photos. Also, thanks for Eileen from The Meseum of the City of New York that she allowed me to take the photo copy of Berenice Abbott's FAP archives and the negativs.Thanks for David from The New York Public Library, he showed me the book of Eugene Atget which was edited by Berenice Abbott. Most thanks for The Commerce Graphics Ltd., Cindy let me make the copy of Abbott's personal letters and the newspaper report. She was so kind that she also allowed me to take the photos of the Berenice Abbott's original photos treasured by the gallery. Mr. Ahern, I'd like to  publish my master thesis writing about Berenice Abbott's New York's photos. May I ask for the copyright? I'll attach my thesis for you, and wish I could do something more for Berenice Abbott, do something more for the photographers.

Thanks for your time.

Best Regards
