Jeanne-Claude, 'The Gates' Artist, Dead at 74
Artist Jeanne-Claude, who created the 2005 Central Park installation "The Gates" and other large scale "wrapping" projects around the globe with her husband Christo, has died. She was 74.
I remember being very excited about "The Gates". I had a 2 megapixel camera when the "The Gates" were unveiled, and though I thought I took some good pictures, I felt I needed more. I then bought my first DSLR camera a Nikon D70 a couple of days later just to take pictures of those orange structures. I visited Central Park every day -- in the day, at night, in the snow. I even took requests from the Internet from people who wanted to see parts of the installation that they have not seen before.

Thanks Jeanne-Claude.
