Journey to Ithaca: A Picture Gallery for a Law School Classroom

Journey to Ithaca #1 When you set out on your journey to Ithaca, pray that the road is long....That the summer mornings are many... Constantine Cavafy (1911).

Note: When classes begin at the Louis D. Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville, Dean James M. Chen introduces students to Ithaka, the celebrated poem by Constantine P. Cavafy.

The proposed picture gallery for a law school classroom uses pictures of Louisville, the launching point for the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the George Rogers Clark cabin to illustate notable lines from the poem. Eleven more images follow. The exhibition, however, will use only nine.

Louisville Indiana

A Fresh Perspective
In search of a new way to look at Louisville, I went to the front perch of General George Rogers Clark--in Indiana! Sitting there in the rocking chair, I SEE Louisville from a fresh, Indiana perspective, the same perspective enjoyed by the great American explorer, conquistador and patriot. General Clark loved his cabin (built near the launching point of the Lewis & Clark Expedition) but moved to Locust Grove in Louisville to live with his siter after his health failed.

ps, the entire photoshoot is on my Flickr site at a gallery called Louisville views from Indiana.
