March 12, 2000: A rare and special occasion, as one of Seiko's greatest fans pays a visit to the SMF Productions studios. She has been a loyal follower of SMF as well as a good friend, and when she asked how certain images on this site were created, I gave her the opportunity to try one of her own. She did the video captures you see above, created the collage, background and lettering in Adobe Photoshop, added the image to the page you are viewing right now, and uploaded it to the SMF site...with a little "Sensei" assistance from yours truly...but she accomplished this on a sunny California afternoon and deserves a round of applause for a job well done.
