Event handlers must have one parameter (other than 'self' for methods), 
the event, as that is what they will be passed.  You defined load_image 
like this.

     def load_image(self):
         # load image file

It should be this

     def load_image(self, event):
         # load image file

You are free to ignore the event object and some people then name the 
parameter '_' (or dummy) to signify that it will be ignored.

     def load_image(self, _):
         # load image file

You must pass the bound method, as you did, and not the function itself 
(which has two parameters).
