Recognition

Eugene Smith “Pittsburgh (Boy Hanging on Colwell & Pride St. Sign) 1955-56”

I received an email this week that one of my blogs (well, email about the subject) was being displayed on another photographer’s website.  I also heard on that same guy’s podcast the letter spoken out loud in my own words as he read it to his audience and did a brief commentary on it.  A proud moment for me, for sure.

Back on July 1st of this year I wrote a post on how I started in photography and what inspired me to take it up.  That post can be found here.  Neale James, who hosts two podcasts I listen to, had recently done a podcast about ‘The Picture That Changed My Life’ and so I wrote him the email he read on a Friday podcast.  Every Friday Neale takes a walk while recording the audio, explaining where he is.  He walks, takes pictures and reads his audience’s emails.  He gives his insight on the story, tells a bit of history about the location he is walking and share those pictures on his site.

Neale emailed me on August 4th with this simple yet wonderful message.

“Hi Tim,

Thanks for the pic and of course the original piece.

It’s all uploaded! https://www.photographydaily.show/friends/tim-bindner-photograph

Thank you, too, for your continued support. It is VERY much appreciated.

Kindest,

Neale”

I encourage you to listen not only to this podcast but follow Neale on the Fujicast and Photography Daily.  I know most of you won’t take the time to do so, but if you would like to hear the episode you can go here, hit play, and listen to the twenty-eight minute podcast.  For those who are even more impatient fast forward to 8:57–12:32, which is where Neale read my letter.  There is something about his deep voice that makes my letter sound so much better than when I wrote and read it in my internal voice.

I have again included the picture I was referencing in the email to Neale, the original post, and now the link he has on his site.  Again I do not own this, but it is what inspired me to become a photographer so many years back.

Please click on all the links I have given above and you will discover some very talented stories, people and their creative work.

Until next time,

Tim

Rocky Ridge/Breeden Ridge Trail

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography Today I met my buddy Mark at O’ Bannon Woods State Park for a hike.  In this Coronavirus terrifying world, I needed to get out. My week had not been going so well.  I got some surprises at work that changed how future projects will go for me and I was bombarded by daily messages of doom about the Corona Virus.  I was looking forward to the weekend because I had two hikes planned.  This is the only one that happened. After a two day headache (Friday and Saturday) I was able to get out and hike.  I met Mark at the campground in O’ Bannon Woods and we set off on the Rocky Ridge Trail.  This is the trail we had planned on hiking a few weekends ago but it ended quickly when the forecasted 30% of rain became 100% sleet. The trail this time was still muddy but as I could tell by the campground area we would be alone.  As my boots slushed through the mud I watched from behind as Mark often caught a tree root or rock with the toe of his boot, sending...

I almost died - Adventure Hiking Trail.

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography (https://www.instagram.com/timothybme/) This morning I was able to cross off a mini-bucket list item.  I have always wanted to hike on the Adventure Hiking Trail (AHT) and today I achieved that with my good friend Mark. We met in the parking lot by the guard shack at the entrance to the park.  We took a moment to greet each other and both of us tried to decide to wear a jacket or not.  Mark loves to drive and since he has a Jeep I was okay with him hauling us to our starting point.  I loaded my gear in his Jeep, climbed in and we headed off. As Mark turned onto Cold Friday Road I felt my excitement level begin to rise as I had been looking forward to this hike for a long time.  The road, though paved was very bumpy and curvy.  It was littered with debris.  Not man-made debris but the kind only Mother Nature could provide.  The Jeep crushed branches, it road over leaves and small rocks, and we seemed to feel every puddle and pothole as we descended the ...

Nova Scotia - Day 7

Photo by: Tim Bindner October 1 & 2, 2022–Day 6 & 7 Not too many sites were seen on our last two days in Nova Scotia. Reality was setting in. We would be back home soon. On Saturday we woke up, had breakfast, said goodbye to Kermit (6-week-old golden retriever), loaded up the car, turned in the keys and began the drive east on Highway 1. Our destination was The Fourth Lock . This was a small bed-and-breakfast with a restaurant attached. Our drive took us through small towns like Bear River, Annapolis Royal, and Bridgetown. We then merged onto Highway 101, heading toward Fall River. Our B&B was not opened when we arrived, but the restaurant staff called the owner, then got us the code to get in and he showed us our room. Small room with a bed only 12 inches off the floor, no a/c, small refrigerator with glass bottles of water inside, and a very nice washroom and shower. We waited around until 4pm, then headed downstairs for dinner. After eating, we walked back up to the room...
