[QUOTE="Cmeckley, post: 81900, member: 10384"] My camera was the very last thing I reluctantly decided to leave behind on my dining room table the night before I left for my camino. I was desperate to reduce my pack weight, and decided I'd rely on my iPhone camera instead. I purchased a small camera case at REI that clipped on to the waist belt of my pack, where I kept my phone, enough money for the current day's walk, and a single credit card. This allowed me to access those items quickly and easily....convenient during the frequent stops for cafe or a coke. I wish I could show you the quality of my camino photos! The friends and family with whom I have shared them can not believe they were taken with a phone. Although I intended to journal along the way, I ended up tossing the small notebook I brought after a few days - I found that I was just too tired to write in the evenings, and I was glad to be free of the weight. My photos now serve as my "journal" and I periodically go back and look through them to reminisce. I also found my phone to be invaluable - for things like staying in touch with camino friends, and most importantly, when I had an allergy attack along the way and needed to make medical arrangements. I also got in the habit of texting my husband a single scenic photo each day (cost less than $1, check your text plans)..it was my way of letting him know that I was OK, and his way of feeling connected to me. In the end, we all learn the true lesson of the Camino - you don't really neeeeeed anything. But I was sure glad for my phone and photos ;) [/QUOTE]
