Since you didn't see painter and photographer Alon's full face in the 
B&W in my previous post, here he is:

Here's the picture of me Alon took with my M8. Usually when I ask 
someone else to take a photo of me, I have to focus on him or her, give 
them the camera, and then stand exactly in the same place. Alon hadn't 
used an RF before, but he was a natural. I showed him how to focus it by 
holding up a finger and telling him to move the focus lever until the 
two fingers he saw merged into one. He said, "I get it,"  and indeed, he 
had. I've almost never had that happen before,

Katya and I were walking down some streets not frequented by tourists, 
and this gentleman spotted my camera. He practically jumped in front of 
me and struck a pose, clearly wanting me to take his picture.  So I did.

The black mark at lower left was made by a piece of shrapnel that hit 
the pulpit in 1948, while the rabbi was in it conducting services. No 
one was hurt, the locals call it a miracle.
