I greatly appreciate the invitation from his wife, Sachiko, to meet Mr. Yamaguchi.  <\/p>\n<p>I enjoyed the 40 minutes photographing and speaking with him.   I will never forget.  He is probably the most impressive person I&#8217;ve ever photographed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/1aaaa2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2418\" title=\"1aaaa\" src=\"http:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/1aaaa2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/1aaaa2.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/1aaaa2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.paulepictures.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/1aaaa2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p>  var _gaq = _gaq || [];\n  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-12680478-1']);\n  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);<\/p>\n<p>  (function() {\n    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = true;\n    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
