UNC Asheville in Asheville, NC, Features Works by Margot Anne Kelley

UNC Asheville in Asheville, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Local Treasures: Geocaching Across America, featuring some 20 color photos by Margot Anne Kelley, on view at UNC Asheville's Blowers Gallery, located in Ramsey Library through Sept. 28, 2006.
 
Kelley doesn't just take photos, she finds treasures. She is one of thousands of people who have fallen in love with geocaching. This relatively new hobby is centralized on a Web site (www.geocaching.com), which lists the geographic coordinates of little treasures hidden by people around the world. Users download the latitude and longitude and then use a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) to find the cache - a small waterproof container containing a logbook as well as toys, letters or trinkets. Caches are hidden in beautiful natural spots as well as gritty inner city locations, which inspired Kelley to pull out her camera.
 
Over the past four years, Kelley has documented her geocaching journeys in photographs, which she compiled into a book, "Local Treasures: Geocaching Across America."  
 
Kelley teaches photography at the Art Institute of Boston. She holds a doctorate in American literature and a master's degree in photography. Her photographs have been exhibited in colleges and public galleries and are held in museum and corporate collections. Kelley and her husband divide their time between Cambridge, MA, and Tenants Harbor, ME.
