I did not notice the resemblance to Buddha to which you refer, and I'm
still not sure I do (except for the ears, perhaps). To me, he looks

Many descriptions of Sento-kun omit any reference to Buddha, calling

Wow! This is indeed an engaging and gorgeous gallery
My personal favorites are Ken Waller's view of a lighthouse in the

Long ago I bought an LX from KEH. It came all nicely securely packed, nestled
