[QUOTE="micbook, post: 84843, member: 14124"] Hi Caitlin, I'm not much of a picture-taker myself and debated with the same question last year before I walked. I decided to take a small, light-weight camera with me, which I got as a gift...until then, I didn't even own a camera :) Your question made me reflect on the subject and I have to say that in retrospect, I'm VERY happy that I took the camera with me. While on the Camino, I enjoyed being able to take pictures, but I appreciate it even more now, that I can look back at that incredible experience, almost finding it hard to believe that it really happened the way it did. I was very mindful of weight and carried with me a total of 8 kg, water included, so I think you can get along quite well with a light, pocket camera, without affecting the weight all that much. I was also not interested in any electronics, and didn't have anything with me...no phone, music, ipad...I decided at the end to take the camera with me and looking back, I'd highly recommend taking one. You can always decide when and if to pull it out or not, but it's nice to have the option. At times, it'll be nothing like what your eyes and body see. At other times, it might capture a magical moment or experience you'll cherish for many years. Here's a favorite...you can find more in the link below: [url]http://michalrinkevich.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/so-you-think-you-wanna-walk/img_0527-3/[/url] Buen Camino!
