I walked the Camino Frances for a third time in May and June, and for some strange reason I took it upon myself to make a daily video diary.
There was so much to process, I felt like i needed to capture the immersive immediacy of the experience on video - rather than editing with the benefit of hindsight in an editing room months later.
And so I edited the videos after arriving at the albergue, often deep into the night when most people were snoring already. I usually recorded a narration as well, trying to make sense of the things going through my head that day.
After the edit was done, I uploaded the videos to youtube from my bed (usually). I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep…
This third Camino was by far the most intense one, in many ways. An amazing, enlightening experience.
I sometimes do wonder why I make these videos about the Camino, but I’ve met a number of people who confided that my videos (from the years before) were one, if not the major reason why they decided to walk the Camino. I was surprised and very flattered to hear this: it means I’m not just shouting into the void, but that my little movies do have an effect.
Here’s 3 picks, I will try to post the entire playlist in the next message. And yes, I am in the process of making it into one long video.
The videos should play in sequence if you keep watching.
Enjoy!
