Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Why don't I have more pictures of the Pope? A. See my pictures of John Paul II's 25th Anniversary, and My last Papal Audience. Usually it's not easy to carry a camera when distributing communion... So see the Vatican Media Photo Site

Q2. Why are the pictures different sizes? A. Back when the internet was much slower than today, I unfortunately reduced the size of most of my pictures. I also cut out unnecessary parts to reduce their size, and will often shrink pictures that are not very good, fuzzy or less important.

Q3. Why are some pictures not focused well? A. Almost all pictures are taken without flash, especially inside of churches, museums or at night. This is quite challenging without a tripod to hold the camera perfectly still while the lens stays opens - thus the reasons why some pictures are fuzzy. Also some are a reduced size.

Q4. What kind of camera do you use? Until the Holy Land trip, I used a very simple HP Photosmart 612 2.3 Megapixel. Now I use a better Canon PowerShot A710 IS 7.1 Megapixel (by now also quite old and well traveled.)

Q.5 Have you ever tried to take pictures of fireworks?
