I sold 2 prints

Photo by: Tim Bindner

Recently I sold two copies of the picture above. Both customers wanted a 10×30 inch canvas print. I sent it off; it arrived within a week, and the prints were delivered last week. I have heard no feedback from the customers.

From a court deed I could find that the Hoosier Homestead Farm was in Crawford County, Indiana changed names to The Tower Orchards, Inc. The plot of land had the original name from 1871 until July 18th, 1977.

The intersection of Highway 62 and Highway 66 (see picture) is where the above barn is located. This farm/orchard served as a farmer’s market for the local community for decades. Fresh fruits and vegetables were sold here, and many families stopped by after church to socialize.

Paul Tower’s family home is no longer standing, neither is the original barn nest to their home. The land is no longer farmed or produces fruit or vegetables. However The Tower Orchard Packing House (above) and the Tower Orchard Barn remains. It no longer functions as it did in the past, but stands as an icon or memory of simpler times.

I find joy and comfort in old structures. They show character that newer building do not possess. A quick stop on a winter day, when I grabbed my camera and grabbed a quick snap. Now this photograph will grace not one, but two walls. I hope for a long time.

I have sold 7 prints since I began photography in 2015. My intention when taking photos is to capture the beauty I see in things. If I sell a print now and then, then that is just icing on the cake.

I struggle to sell my prints, as I don’t feel they are worthy of display. Obviously at least a few people disagree. I am, however, honored that people care enough to display my work in their homes or businesses.

Until next time,

Tim (Kilmer)

25 years

  How do I put love into words? Especially after 25 years of marriage, two children, a few dogs, and various moves we have made both with jobs and homes. How do I explain how someone is in my daily thoughts, and every decision I make takes her into account? I have seen her grow into an exceptional mother, loving and understand wife, and beautiful human being. She is the reason I am still here on earth. Dearest Marcie, Twenty-five years. A quarter of a century. It feels like yesterday we stood at the altar, our hearts brimming with hope and anticipation. And yet, as I look back on these years, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and love. You have been my constant, my rock, my guiding star. Your love has been a beacon of light, illuminating my path even in the darkest of times. Our home is alive with the melody of your laughter, bringing boundless joy, while your kindness ignites a warmth within my very being. I cherish the memories we've made together - the adv...

Good Enough?

  This past week Dr. Erin and I discussed many things. She did, however spring a new term on me. Social Attribution Error. It is something I suffer from, without knowing the term and we dove a little deeper into it and what I could do to reverse it. Social Attribution Error has many aspects but a few I want to point out. Explaining behavior : It's the process of trying to understand why someone acted a certain way by assigning a cause to their behavior.  Internal vs. external attribution : You can attribute behavior to internal factors (like personality traits) or external factors (like situational circumstances). With a bit of conversation Erin and I discussed my strong and irrational internal attribution and how I always see myself as not good enough. Not a good enough father, husband, friend, employee, relative, writer, photographer, etc. Much of this started in my childhood when my mother would compare me to my classmates, friends and even cousins...

A gift from a friend

Photo by: Tim Bindner Photography Recently I received a gift from a friend.  It was unexpected but it meant so much.  A simple gesture, an act of kindness, a show of love and friendship. I met Miranda via Instagram based on a recommendation from my buddy Mark.  Like most things, he recommends I seriously consider and highly respect his suggestions.  This was true to form.  I began following Miranda on Instagram, Facebook and even viewing her website.  I stuck up a few online conversations and got the nerve to ask her for an interview.  I wrote about that here . Eventually, text and online correspondence led to a few phone calls.  I admired her work and even discussed creating a book of my own and she admitted wanting to do one as well.  Specifically, I saw two pictures that I loved.  My passion for nature, especially trees is well known.  When I saw this photo (single tree) I was floored.  I even asked her if I could buy a copy.  Nothing really came of that.  I then saw another photo ...
