Wonderful series! I was there when I was 18 and not into photography, so don't have beautiful shots like these to remember it by. Thanks for sharing these

Fantastic shots! #6 is my favorite, that little boy really makes the photo great. How did you pull off the Sistine Chapel shot, btw? I remember the guards being quite proactive about stopping photographers.

I actually wondered about that as well

LOVE this series! Makes me really want to travel there and see it all in person!

#6 is by far my favorite. And, like someone already mentioned, that little boy sitting there just makes it that much better. :thumbup:

All the photos are fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

plain and simply just stood in the center of the room for about 5 minutes waiting for an opportunity while the guards weren't looking. There are probably 10 or so in the whole place so i could only check about half of them and then just hope the other half weren't looking. Put the camera to my face, fired, and ran away.
