[Leica] IMG: Topped with a Curl

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for the kind words, Douglas.  I only have one "selfie studio", a 
bathroom mirror facing a white door.  I took about a dozen shots with my 
Fuji and Leica Elmarit-R 90 to get a suitable frame.

I wish your wife the best of luck.  I realize she has  been facing her 
problems for quite some time.  I've had a brain MRI, it is not the most 
pleasant of experiences.  But, we do what we have to do.
