My previous visit to Israel was in 1968. Being 18, rebellious, and newly liberated from religion, I had no interest in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Going back with my wife a couple of weeks ago, I found the place fascinating: exotic, dark, mysterious, filled with interesting shrines and side chapels, and alive with fascinating people. It is a photographer's delight if you are equipped to handle low light. Series here:

Thanks, Pentax. Keep in mind that the slow shutter speeds mean that not all of the people are sharp. I am as irreligious now as I was in 1968, but I have to say that I was moved by the ecstatic experience that so many people were clearly having in the church. So far these are my favorite photos from the trip. Comments welcome. Joe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
