Anakasha said:My next question and the one I should have asked in the first place is: How reliable is the mail service across Spain? Don't get me wrong I'm not one of those people that thinks that Spain is the wilderness, but as someone who has lived in Italy and waited for two months for a package from Austria. I'm curious as to whether this is a viable plan, or if I'm just spinning my wheels on a dream.

Anakasha said:Since a few people have asked, No I am not planning on doing a book and this is not actually an assignment for me. It is something I have been planning on doing for 10 years. I have had to postpone twice once after a severe knee injury laid me up for almost two years, and once because of catching mono four days before I was set to leave. Between the physical reasons and the developing of and then having to rebuild my career I have finally found that it is time to go.
That being said, as a photographer I never leave home without a camera, and when leaving my immediate area I don't leave home without a couple of them. My work is mostly travel photography, with a bit of art and random stuff thrown in. I find beauty in the strangest of places. So, I would hate to not be able to get a shot that particularly moves me.
A few people, not just here, have said that I should leave my work behind, but I only consider photography work, when I am assigned to capture images that I have no real interest in. When it is just me and my camera out it the world capturing moments, it becomes a calling. Especially, since those images are made for me, and if someone else likes them or wants to purchase them... bonus.
The photographs I take during my journey along the Camino with be a photographic history of my experience to luxuriate on for years later, and possibly to inspire my friends and family with, so I do want to be adequately prepared. Especially since this will be the first time that I am doing a walking tour alone.

markloft said:I carried a lot of camera equipment when I walked from St. Jean to Santiago in 2003. It was a burden, but the photos and memories they bring back make it worthwhile. I got photos I couldn't have gotten as well (size, resolution, sharpness, etc.) with a point-n-shoot.
Oh I have no intention of editing photos on the way, and while SD cards are very inexpensive my camera uses CF cards which are significantly more money, and unfortunately my iPad does not allow me to upload that much info to it.
