This is the fifth cache in a series based on famous photographers who's work I admire. Since starting geocaching my time for photography has been somewhat reduced so this is my attempt at combining the two interests.

Annie Leibovitz (1949) Widely considered one of America's best portrait photographers, Annie Leibovitz started her career as a staff photographer for start-up rock music magazine Rolling Stone, in 1970. Two years later at just 23 years of age, Leibovitz was appointed chief photographer for the magazine, a position she would hold for 10 years. Leibovitz is noted for her use of bold primary colors and surprising poses. Many of her Rolling Stone covers have become collector's items including the cover above featuring John Lennon shot just hours before his death in 1980.
In 1983, Leibovitz accepted a position with Vanity Fair, which gave her a wider pool of subjects to work with. She has made many memorable covers, including two of Demi Moore naked, and one of Whoopi Goldberg half submerged in a bathtub of milk. In 1987, Leibovitz won a Clio award for her portraits of celebrity holders of American Express cards.
Books of her portraits include, Photographs: Annie Leibovitz 1970-1990, Olympic Portraits (of photographs taken during her stint as official photographer of the 1996 summer Olympics), Women, in which Leibovitz presented an array of female images from Supreme Court Justices to Vegas showgirls, coal miners and farmers, and A Photographers Life 1990 - 2005 which was a retrospective on her work published for a major touring exhibition (currently on show at the MCA in Sydney).
After finding the cache make sure you cross the road and follow the creek to the end, very spectacular
