Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. You must solve for the hidden location.

In the modern era, there is so much online to look at, and we have access to so much data that it can seem extreme and overwhelming. But there is one semi-anonymous artist, a photographer, who has spent over a decade embracing this idea. They have traveled the globe, taking pictures of all of the mundanities and grandeurs of life. They take an unfathomable number of photos. The idea, maybe, is that with the availability of so much data, even random pieces of it can feel personal, as if nobody else has ever noticed it before. The photographer is very secretive, but has agreed to a rendezvous at N35 46._ _ _ W78 41._ _ _, but left the blanks up to you. The only clue the artist left was the portfolio below of their most well-known works.
