Life and Light Along the Way of Saint James
These photographs are dedicated to my mother, who had the courage to take me to Spain to walk the Camino when I was 15; for Brian, who convinced me to walk the Camino again in 2010; and for all of the pilgrims who shared our journeys across Spain.
The Camino de Santiago is an ancient pilgrimage to the city of Santiago de Compostela in Northwest Spain. In recent years the pilgrimage has taken on new life with tens of thousands of modern-day pilgrims from across the globe walking the way each year.
I started this journey with Brian and Adrian in Southwest France. We walked out the front door of a friend’s house and headed west. One day later we were on the Camino route, our steps leading us toward Santiago. We arrived 42 days later.
