Path In The Gates Published Again
March 11th, 2024 - LIC, NY
James Reade Venable's first ever publication was a photo he took in 2005 of the artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude's art installation in Central Park entitled The gates. It catapulted him into taking a more focused path into photography to pursue it professionally. Now years later the photograph is being published again in Tint Journal; a ESL publication. Shot on Black and White film this piece was taken because while walking through the installation, it had recently snowed and someone shoveled through the gates in a zig-zag manner. The image captured his eye right away and hear it is 20 years later being published for a second time. It's available here on Fine Art America.
