[Leica] Who is that old guy?

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Jim, I'll file that one next to the other one with your custom large format 
Leica that you have posted before. I figure that this
one belongs in Steve's gallery as well. You want to talk about earlier pics, 
I'll show you me with moustache, Nikon and thick mop of
hair in the 70's..... not.
 Last camera that I bought (for the princely sum of about USD 50) arrived 
today. It is a Kiev IV with a 50.

Cheers
Hoppy

Hoppy:

That photo of me was taken in 1992.

Unfortunately, I look more like this now:

When I shave in the morning I ask myself, who is that old guy? I don't 
know him.

One never has enough cameras... I bought a nicely preserved boxed 
Contaflex and an equally preserved and boxed Zeiss-Ikon 1/4 plate Taxo 
at Brimfield on Friday.
