I have photographed famous people such as the Pope,Bill Gates,The King and Queen of Spain,Chancellors, and Presidents of many countries. No one has moved me more than Pope John Paul II ( The Holy Father ), who after being photographed, touched my shoulder and told me 'What a pretty photographic machine you've got.' ( 1979 ).</div><br>]]></description><pubDate>Sun, 10 Sep 2006 18:55:23 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Galapagos pictures</title><link>http://www.featurepics.com/PhotoReports/Galapagos.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.featurepics.com/PhotoReports/Galapagos.aspx</guid><description><![CDATA[<div><a href='http://www.featurepics.com/PhotoReports/Galapagos.aspx'><img align='left' hspace='10' border='0' src='http://www.featurepics.com/Galapagos/Galapagos_3.jpg'></a><b>Galapagos pictures</b><br><br>We have started photo pictorial narrations to learn about the world and share
