For those of you who wanted a closeup shot, here it is.

I felt very guilty taking this photo. There were other people with cameras, but they were tourists. Does it cheapen the experience to take a photo of it? Is there a lacking in sensitivity? I went to the end where there weren't people who were really praying and tried to be discreet. This was a very hard shot to take, cause I was shooting blind.  

Thank G-d for the wonders of digital technology that allowed me take a hundred pictures of this kid. The only limit was his patience. It's hard getting a good shot off while holding a kid on your lap.

Hey, is someone gonna pick me up, or do I have to make some noise!
