digital b&w

One of my favorite portraits in the digital age was a black and white portrait I took of this man about 5 years ago.

That portrait was taken with an earlier Nikon D1X, and I was very pleased with the rich black and white tones in the final print where it was almost as satisfying as a beautiful silver print made in the darkroom from film. Now I shoot with a D3 which allows me to do more in available light, but when I look at the old black & white shot with the D1X, I don't think that camera has been yet outdated in terms of image quality.
