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)

Rumination

  I've found myself stuck in a loop lately. It's like my mind is on a hamster wheel, endlessly circling the same thoughts. I can't seem to shake them. It's exhausting. I've been there. That place where thoughts loop around and around, like a broken record stuck on the same groove. It's like my mind is a haunted house, and these persistent thoughts are the ghosts haunting me. I'll be thinking about something, maybe a conversation I had earlier in the day, and then suddenly, I'm spiraling. I'm replaying every word, every gesture, analyzing every detail. It's like a broken record, playing the same tune repeatedly. It's not just conversations, either. I can ruminate about my to-do list, my relationships, or even the weather. It's as if my brain is determined to find a problem, no matter how small. Rumination, as it's called, can be a real drain. It's like trying to go against the flow of a strong current. No matter how hard I ...

Nobody's Listening

  I recently had conversations with two people I know that had experienced a sudden rash of acute anxiety. One was medication related, the other was situational. Both stated that they now had a better understanding of what I have been dealing with. With the recent changes to my medication, Although I still feel anxiety, it no longer takes control of my emotions like it did in the past. However, I know acutely that it still lurks on the fringes, patiently awaiting its chance to pounce on me. During my recent visit to Dr. Erin, she assigned me an exercise where I had to jot down three things each day that I felt I excelled at. This is proving to be difficult for me. The parameters are straightforward and easy to understand. “Anything I do well that day,” she said. As I continued with this exercise, I began thinking of a song by Linkin Par called Nobody’s Listening. I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress Handful of anger held in my chest And everything left’s a wast...

Walk Tall

  I recently listened to a song by one of my favorite artist’s name John Mellencamp . The song is called Walk Tall . As I listened to the lyrics, I could not help reflecting on the world around me. John states: The simple minded and the uninformed Can be easily led astray And those that cannot connect the dots Hey, look the other way People believe what they wanna believe When it makes no sense at all… This is a recurring sight for me, encountered daily on social media, in conversations, on the news, and most notably in politics. People readily accept Facebook, MSNBC, CNN, or even their neighbor’s post on any platform as the ultimate truth. Very few people bother to delve into the facts, and it’s even worse how furious they get when faced with differing opinions. A point proven recently with a post I saw on Facebook. Someone stated, “this proves people will argue about anything”. There was a picture of a plastic cup of water that was ¾ full. The caption below said a fu...
