[QUOTE="t2andreo, post: 155878, member: 25553"] RobertC - The short answer is "Yes." Whew! I am never THAT concise. Pattii also nailed my feelings with her explanation - well done woman! However, I was also walking the Camino for many people I know who would never be able to walk the Camino. Through a combination of advanced age, chronic illness, or other infirmities these dozen or so folks could never hope to experience what I was. So, I made a personal vow to document the journey fully and to share those images with all the people who were following my Camino via e-mail. I have a few personality quirks, and keeping my word is one of them. Once I make a promise or vow I stick to it. I have friends all over the world and they were thrilled to see the thousands of photos I took. All along The Way I also took iPod Touch photos of beautiful flowers and made several short videos with sound using the iPod Touch to document mountain springs or interesting sights and sounds; like the Botafumeiro in the Cathedral at SdC, the trio of Russian musicians from St. Petersburg, Russia, the two tenors singing classical music under the arch, near the Cathedral or the Galician woman playing the Gaeta under the arch - very well I might add. BTW - I bought all their CDs. Then I discovered Carlos Nunez - WOW! I get teary listing to his Galician music and saw him in concert locally (Washington) last month....memories! I then e-mailed one flower or video per day to my followers to brighten their days. These efforts make 93-year old nearly blind people, cancer sufferers, and folks of various ages using walker frames, or who must stay close to home for medical reasons very happy. How many people get flowers from Spain every day? The collateral benefit of having that huge library of images is that the day may come when my memory, including the sights and sounds of my past, are not so complete or vivid as they are now. When that time comes, the digital images will help remind me of what was. I am not tooting my own horn, just explaining one of the reasons for "doing' the Camino the first time instead of "experiencing" it. As Pattii suggests, when I next do it in April - May 2014, It will be for me for my psyche and soul. The camera is staying home. I will likely maintain the daily photo of flowers, as northern Spain is beautiful in bloom, and I am in incurable romantic... ;) Buen Camino y'all! Tom (from Virginia) [/QUOTE]
