Taking A Different Angle

When Power Creative photographer Ted Wirth was assigned with the task of photographing the sculpture "Big Red", by Tom Lear for a brochure cover for the University of Louisville College of Business, the veteran lensman knew all too well that literally thousands of photographs had been exposed of the metal artwork since it was dedicated in June 1990. This fact didn't rattle Wirth one bit, he and his Art Director studied every inch of the sculpture while Wirth snapped images from all angles. Read more

HITTING THE HIGH NOTE - A look inside the University of Louisville School of Music

The University of Louisville School of Music is steeped in more than 75 years of history. As just one example of that history, in November 1959, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century stopped by for lunch at the School of Music. His name was Dmitri Shostakovich. At the time, he was a huge musical figure in the Soviet Union. He happened to be in Louisville as part of a goodwill tour with five other Soviet musical artists at the height of the Cold War. The Maestro insisted that he see and hear what American college students were doing musically. Read more

Life's newness, and earth's garniture spread out.

A sober gladness the old year takes up

His bright inheritance of golden fruits,
