Louisville Steeples

This image is polling very well in the Courier Journal project and I am not surprised. This picture is rich with metaphor and evokes much commentary and inquiry. One of my personal favorites and used as a gallery card. Many world's share the same horizon.

A Classroom Picture Gallery #17 (final post in first attempt to select nine images)

#17

Louisville Slugger

** **
Notes: the gallery will be comprised of nine images, seven along the outer circular wall of the classroom and one on each side of the lectern wall. Aerial images of architectual landmarks in the center city were favored in an attempt to capture familiar views that will resonate with many AND which are likely to remain stable over a long period of time (hence, there are no views of the arena site or other construction sites which will be dated very shortly). The two landscape images were selected for natural beauty and potential metaphorical value.

The images selected will be presented in a high gloss, sqaure format and displayed between the respective wall pillars above the heads of those seated in the back row of the room and surrounded by an abundance of white space. A 36x36 size is the target size but actuall size will depend upon the resolution and file size of the images selected. Using a finishing process known as sublimation, the digital images will be transferred by a heat press to a scratch resistant surface. The result is a high-quality, vivid and durable picture marked by rich color and luminosity.

Nil Admirari, be astonished by nothing
Snow flakes cover blossoms of the crabapple and redbud tree in late April. Be astonished by nothing is Horace's sermon, borrowed from the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, preached by Pythagoras and Seneca. The dictum teaches several lessons: what can happen will happen, don't be seduced, bamboozled or surprised.

Make Haste Slowly

At ground level,the tangled path hides the destination and the way. Finding a place above the fray helps one see the twists and turns for what they are.

Look Ahead

It's helpful to students to see their destination. Here is a picture of the 2008 graduation ceremony with the law school well-represented by its flag and its flag bearer, Dean James Chen.

The Louisville Skyline from the West

The Louisville skyline is seldom portrayed from this angle. And yet, so much more of the skyline is visible from the direction shown. The image teaches: look at your subject from all angles.
