IN OUR PATH Web Site: http://www.tmn.com/iop/index.html Contact: Jeff Gates (jgates@tmn.com) ____________________________________________________________ In 1982 I began to photograph an eerie sight--what appeared to be suburbia abandoned. Only later did I come to find out that this was the beginnings of the Century Freeway, the "last freeway" to be built in Southern California. My photographic odyssey continued much longer than I ever expected and led me in directions I never anticipated. In addition, court actions by home owners, the NAACP and the Sierra Club led to the institution of social programs for those upended by construction of the I-105. This had never before accomplished in a highway project. I've assembled a hypermedia version of this work which includes photographs, writings, and interactive maps. In addition, and of particular interest, is an online, web-based conferencing center called FEEDBACK I have developed to discuss issues surrounding public works projects such as this and artists' involvement with these issues. I look forward to your arrival. Jeff Gates IN OUR PATH http://www.tmn.com/iop/index.html
