These caches have had a nice long run. What started off with an idea in February of 2002 from a cacher named [url=http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=7ebf007a-7569-4594-b160-b63299ba5938]Blackjak[/url] has finally run its course. With the demise of the virtual cache on Geocaching.com, and the long ago demise of the moving cache, these were only grandfathered caches, but I really enjoyed them.
Life and its concerns and worries are starting to chip away at my time, and I came to a point earlier this month when I started looking at my priorities and what was important. Somehow, keeping up with these moving virtual caches and updating the 11 versions, e-mailing back and forth with unresponsive finders, and eventually having to find my own suggested locations has taken toll on me.
So many people have written me with these caches to say how glad they were that there was something innovative and new to the caching world. Something different and outside-of-the-box. Those notes almost made it worth my time and effort to keep these active.
I would like to thank all those that found these caches, took great photos and suggested such wonderful locations for future finders. I may at somepoint set up a waymark category for locations that were once listed as Photographer's Caches. Until then, these 11 caches are archived.

Markwell,
I'm very sorry to see these go. I thought these were some of the best idea caches ever. I was bummed when I missed the one that came to DC, but was happy to have snagged the one that made it to Baltimore earlier this summer. I'm glad I was able to get one before they were archived, though I am sorry to see them go. I was hoping to have found one or two of the other ones at some point.
Many thanks to your efforts at maintaining them for so long. It's hard enough maintaining a bunch of physical caches, so I can fully appreciate the effort you put into these.
Thanks again.

Yet again, my real life has been intruding on my maintenance of these Photographer's Caches. I will have everything updated within the next week.
Found this one this morning with Geocaching Widow on our annual weekend getaway. Will attach a photo once I return home and download them. An interesting type of cache.
Thanks,

Sorry if I've been neglecting these photographer's caches for a little while. I've been busy with some home stuff that has caught up with me.
I hope to be able to make sure that this cache and all of the others in the series are completely up-to-date by the August 30.
For anyone out there watching and waiting, please be patient. I've been receiving e-mails and notifications.
Thanks!

This cache was successfully found in Rio De Janerio, atop Sugarloaf mountain. I felt incredibly lucky to have stumbled across it down here; I've always wanted to find one of the Photographer's caches, so I was lucky that my vacation trip coincided with the cache's "trip" to Rio.
I have included a shot from the top of the mountain to prove I was there. Off in the distance, you can barely make out the famous statue of Christ overlooking the city. I will upload better pictures of the view, and of the mountain itself, in a few days.
Thanks for the opportunity to find both this cache and a chance to make my trip to Rio a little more memorable.

Found this one with some minor searching. The clue became obvious once we turned the corner. Nice idea. The Shell Factory in North Fort Myers would have been cool too. They have this really cool old 50's inspired neon sign out front. Anyways, thanks for the cache, would have walked around if my foot was not broken. Cheeburger Cheeburger just opened in the mall near where we live in North Jersey! The menu told us it started on Sanibel and we saw it on the way in to this one.
Happy Hunting!
Happy Hunting!
I logged this cache already when it was placed in Germany, where I took a photo of a street intersection, not far from my home.
Very funny to see the cache was here, where I stayed a day off from a business trip. It is a really small world!
Hopefully I shoot the right photos...

Sorry I haven't updated this one. I've been a little busy lately. I will update to a new location within the week.

After a long day of reserch finally we found it.
THIS IS OUR N°100 CACHE!
The hunt was very hard because of a mistake with the coordinates (look at the picture with the map).
The given coordinates were of a place, named “Colombaraâ€, near Cagli without anything “large and roundâ€. So we arrived in Colombara in the early afternoon at the location, but we didn’t see anything particular. We asked, but nobody knew anything about something big and round.
After I remembered I noted that in my streetmap there was another “Colombara†near Cagli. So we tried to go to the other location, but the 40 km of mountain street took a lot of time.
We arrived at the other Colombara (N 43°34.388' E 12°27.738') late in the afternoon and we have immediatly seen the big globe with the moon but we discovered that the gate was closed, because the globe is in a private propriety and the owner is often away and there no timetable is avaliable.
So we couldn’t take a good photograph close to the globe. Also, sorry for the quality of the photo but the light was not too much because of the late hour.
The given coordinates are of the gate to the globe.
Thank you for the difficult hunt!

Not bad. It appears that I was only about 38m off with those coordinates. Both can lay claim to the find but bebenoir has the right to choose the next location.
