Gerry:  We all know you're a nice fellow, even if you had your grumpy face
on for the picture. :-)   Also, thanks for your musician photos--I really
enjoyed seeing the folks from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment,
with their period instruments.

Your X-Pro1 draws beautifully. The tonality in your portrait reminds me of
well-exposed B&W CN film.  Smooth and subtle tones, yet sharp. It would be
very interesting to see a portrait such as this, taken of the same subject
with both the M9 and the X-Pro1. Not to see which camera is "better," but
to see how they draw differently.
