The picture of me on my homepage was taken when I visited Okamoto Takehiro, a friend from when I worked at Matsushita, in Yokohama on December 6, 1998. The picture was taken by Okamoto-san with my new Olympus CAMEDIA D-400Z digital camera (the Japanese equivalent is C-900Z) and was later cropped by myself.
Here is a picture of Okamoto-san and his wife Kazumi from October 20, 2001 when they visited us in Palo Alto. The picture was taken on Borel Hill in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Okamoto-san also took pictures of me and the main course using his first digital camera (I believe Olympus CAMEDIA C-400L) when we went to all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu together in November, 1996. I used those pictures on my homepage during 1997. Note that the flash didn't go off for either picture so they are both too dark.
