Park Panorama

Monday, November 03, 2008

In the summer and autumn months of 2004 I was work­ing for Louisville Metro Parks doing design work on a lot of their printed mate­ri­als and some Inter­nets. It was my first job out of school and the last job before I was mar­ried, and I got to work along­side some really great folks.

During my time there I’d ven­ture into the many parks that our great city enfolds to col­lect photos for inter­nal stock, and at some point I had the idea to make panoramic pic­tures of some of the park scenery (and some of the admin­is­tra­tive offices, too). I did this by taking sev­eral pic­tures and man­u­ally stitch­ing them together in Pho­to­shop. By the end of my time there I hadn’t fin­ished all of them (as you’ll see). It’s not all great pho­tog­ra­phy, but I think they’re inter­est­ing to see.

So, here we go. Louisville’s parks in panorama. (Click them to see them bigger.)
