Statement of Agreement is directly inspired by William Van Hecke's photolog "out of context". Thanks to William for his blessing. Special thanks to all my friends (both online and offline) for their support and correspondence - it was especially valuable during my time in Japan.

My name is James P. Wong. I worked in Japan by way of the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Program as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) located in Fukuoka-ken, Kitakyushu-shi, Kokurakita-ku.

Translation? Fukuoka Prefecture, North Kyushu City, North Kokura Ward :)

Statement of Agreement is a place for photos (and video) that I have taken during my time here in Japan. It's a repository of select memories.

The title was conceived in the late-half of 2002, but not used until the release of this project. It is the official title of the document that I had to sign in order to accept the position as an ALT through the JET Program.

The pictures on this website may be downloaded for personal, non-profit use. If you decide to use the pictures on your own website or integrate them into your own graphics, please link back to this site. Work, put into any site, is a waste if it was stolen.

The pictures taken on this website were taken with two gadgets:

- Sony DCR-TRV50 miniDV camcorder (early on)
- Canon Powershot A40 digital still camera (mainly)

Thanks and enjoy,
