Subject: RE: BS: Catholic bigotry in the Sistine Chapel
Don't agree about banning photography. Especially if you've paid a big wad to get into the place. It's easy enough to be discreet, just a compact camera or phone camera, no flash. I have dozens of pretty good photos from inside the Uffizi in Florence which cost me nothing. I suppose I could always have been ripped off by buying a pricey book of pics in the gift shop, on top of the hefty entrance fee. That's the only reason they like to ban photography. My iPhone 6 took some great pics in the Sistine Chapel. I do stand there and look at the art as well, usually for a lot longer than Mrs Steve's patience will stretch to.
