about the photos
i shot the pictures on this site with two cameras, a lumix fz5 and the camera on my mitsubishi D901iS cell phone. the lumix is a 5 megapixel camera with a beautiful leica lens and 10x zoom, and the D901iS is a damn nice cell phone with a 4 megapixel camera (2 days after i arrived in japan, i went down to the docomo shop and bought their most expensive model — you only live in japan once).
if you would like to obtain a high-resolution version of any of these pictures, let me know.
