+travisl Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I don't have a digital camera, or I'd do this myself: Can one of the kind folks out there come up with a photo of an obviously confused geocacher? I'm picturing someone with a GPS looking or pointing to the wrong place, with the cache obviously somewhere else in the photo. (If you're wondering, I'm in the process of building a CD of geocaching music (remember this topic?), and I need some cover art. I'll send a CD to the person whose photo I use. Thanks.

+lostinjersey Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I think she'll do nicely. She certainly seems confused. Noticed her in this discussion.. Course she's not REALLY blonde, even though she claims she is...[] Caching with a 5 year old: takes 2x as long, it's 2x as satisifying The faster you go, the worse your reception is.

+travisl Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 She's confused (if it were true), but you can't tell that from just the photo. Thanks, but still looking...

+kbraband Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 How about this shot: http://www.wi-geocaching.com/cgi-bin/slide/album.pl?photo=00000001/CacheBash_02/BriansDesMoines067.jpg Quote Link to comment
+travisl Posted June 14, 2002 Author Share Posted June 14, 2002 That's a pretty good one. I'll wait a couple days to see if this thread generates any more ideas, but I like it. And I bet I can edit the sign to read something interesting... Hmmmm....

+Wander Lost Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 We have a digital camera and since we're pratically neighbors I'd be happy to help you out if you have an idea in mind. I'm sure we can set something up. If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?? Quote Link to comment

+kbraband Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Glad you like the shot. The photo was taken by GrouseTales, so you may want to ask him for permission. I'm sure he'd be happy to oblige. Quote Link to comment

+Frolickin Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 I have video from the first cache we sought. It is rather humorous and definitely shows at least one confused cacher. My fiancee had a few snide remarks about my confusion as well. Fro. Quote Link to comment

+travisl Posted June 15, 2002 Author Share Posted June 15, 2002 Herrald: That's almost exactly what I was looking for. Between that and GrouseTail's photo at Ken & Robin's link, I don't know which one I'll use for the front of the CD case. I'm leaning towards using GrouseTail's for the front and yours for the back, only because yours is a bit dark. It sure fits the bill though. WanderLost: Thanks for the offer, but I don't think I'm gonna need to with these good ones coming in. And everybody else: Keep 'em coming... it'll still be a while before I start printing, so if you can top these two, please do.

+travisl Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 I've made the first set of CDs (4 total) and have already hidden one at Mission 9: Tunnel of Light. I'm using GrouseTales' photo for the cover, and Anders' photo for the table of contents. Sorry, Herrald, but as much as I tried, your photo was too dark to use. My el-cheapo ink jet printer left streaks in the dark areas. So, GrouseTales and Anders -- send me an address, and I'll send you a CD. Thanks everybody!
