One of the cool things that happened on my Camino is that I was lucky enough to begin when the photographer Javier Iglesias Ramos was starting a new project. He calls it “IN ITINERE”, and it consists of taking a picture of each peregrino that arrived on their first day in Roncesvalles, and then another one when they arrived in Santiago de Compostela, which in my case was 32 days later. They goal is to see how each person changed, with a focus on the eyes.

So that’s me on the left on 7-Mar-2023 (after a really hard day of hiking), and on the right on 7-Apr-2023 (after an easy day of walking). Pretty great to see the difference (I lost about 14 pounds on the Camino). If you happen to be in Santiago this July, you can see his full exhibition at the Museum of Pilgrimage in Santiago.
