Oly listers:  I've been mostly away from the list for several weeks due 
to work, rehearsals, and life.  I hope everyone who celebrates it had a 
wonderful Thanksgiving. For you Canadians, you always were ahead of us 
in certain things.  And the rest of you, I hope you had a great day anyway!

My birthday was Friday, so we celebrated it on Thursday night with our 
Thanksgiving guests.  My birthday present was an Olympus OM-D. For 
several years a Panasonic G1 has been my "other" camera after my Leica 
M8.  The OM-D seemed to check all the boxes I wanted, and the 
drastically improved sensor made it a worthwhile upgrade.

So I am now learning the OM-D's somewhat daunting, program-your-own user 
interface.  First results, with the little Panny 20/1.7 (40mm 
equivalent), have been very promising.

My very first shot, a self-portrait in my bathroom mirror, turned out 
quite nicely, especially when converted to B&W.

Our friend Carl took this one of me with my camera. Face detection works.
