[Gocamino] another way to see the Camino

[robert ward]

Here's something worth checking out. Canadian visual artist Michelle
Mollineaux shot the Camino using "pinhole" cameras. Some of the results
are really striking, especially the black and whites, which have a sort
of ghostly quality to them (because of the extended exposure time, the
photos record movement as a blur). At the end of the Camino, in the
Plaza del Obradoiro in front of the Cathedral, she photographed
pilgrims' feet. In her own words,



“These photos were very special to take; they were like prayers as I knelt in 
front of each person, with a kind of joy, waiting as the light reflected off 
their feet into my camera. I spent 
those few seconds in awe of the fullness of a life’s journey in each person — 
beautiful, tired and radiant — in front of me. If only we could daily approach 
everyone we meet like that.”



The photos were displayed in Ottawa this month and many of them can be
seen on her whimsically named blog, "Beauty is really good." Look for
the "Small is Beautiful" slideshow on her homepage.
