This photo reminds me of the saying "Jerusalem is where heaven and earth kiss". Pictures will be extremely important to us.
Some places we will visit absolutely will not allow pictures to be taken - for instance inside the Mosque of Al Aqsa at the Dome of the Rock. When my son was in Egypt, a few museums wanted to charge to allow photos - I can’t confirm that this is still true or if it was an "official" charge of any kind. However, for the most part I’m sure most of us will be taking TONS of pictures.
Here are a couple of sites that give some suggestions and instructions on getting the shots you want on your trip to Jerusalem:

The thing about pictures is this - when YOU’RE taking them, YOU’RE never in them, but you end up in others photos.
I’m bringing along a 250 gig hard drive so I can download your pictures each day so we can all share them and for backup in case something happens to your memory or your camera - wouldn’t you HATE to loose all your photos from a trip this big?
So, bring along your cable or whatever interface you use to download your camera and I’ll back them up each day or every other day during the trip. Once we get home, I’ll burn CD’s of all the pictures and mail them out to you.
