"All the pathos and irony of leaving one’s youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time." Paul Fussell


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Churches in Paris

Taking photos of the interiors of churches may prove to be a difficult task. You want everything in, but you also want detail. Correct use of the fisheye lens allows a photographer to come back with great interiors of churches. Of course, when the distance grows to miles (as in the case of Engise de Sacre Coeur) a telephoto will always find its place.
