These are the only lines of code that reference "imageLabel":

imageLabel = Label(master = frame1, image = image)
imageLabel.pack()


Unless the constructor of Label adds a reference of itself to frame1, 
imageLabel will also become garbage collected at the end of the 
constructor. Are you sure this is the case?
