Commissioned

I got commissioned. I am very excited, yet nervous all at the same time.

A doctor contacted me recently, explaining that her practice was expanding their office and leasing another wing next to their own. She wants my photographs to line her walls. She had only two stipulations.

First, all photos were to be black & white (my favorite) and that the photos were of local subjects.

She has yet to sign a lease, so I cannot have access to the space until that is completed, plus they need to do construction for the area. Transforming an oral surgeon’s office to a more traditional doctor’s office.

One subject she mentioned was Mount St. Francis. I have tons of pictures from that area, so I sent her those from my new website and was told “there are already some we love”.

Decisions still need to be made, such as how many prints, what sizes, if she wants exclusive rights to the photos, if I am providing the frames and, of course, cost.

I am truly honored and excited about this opportunity and look forward to seeing the project develop (yeah, that’s a pun).

Until next time,

Tim (Kilmer)

Mentor

  When my photography journey rekindled back in 2015 with a trip to Maine, I never knew how far I would come and how important pushing a button on a camera would be. I have come a long way, but still have so much more to learn. A mentor is described as an experienced and trusted adviser (noun) . Also, as someone who will advise or train (someone, especially a younger  colleague ) (verb). Wikipedia also states mentorship is the patronage, influence, guidance, or direction given by a mentor. A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person.  Since I have gotten more serious about my photography, I have been looking for a mentor that fits these categories listed above. Seeking guidance, I reached out to a handful of “professional” photographers to inquire about mentorship. I received no response from one person, another person casually mentioned that they rarely mentor, and a third person kindly explained that they ...

Somewhere I Belong

  Music is so powerful. It is an integral part of my life. It often helps me express my feelings that I cannot do otherwise in any form. Yesterday this happened to me once again. I drove to Curby, Indiana for my massage. It is a nice smooth drive west on interstate 64 to exit 92. With the temperature in the upper 70s and the sun shining brightly, I had all four windows down and my sunroof open. Cruising at 78mph, my playlist on shuffle and the radio turned up. We have all done this. I arrived at my massage location and as it begun, my massage therapist referenced my latest post tiled 3am . She, however, had a different take on it. She mentioned that she had read waking up at 3am consistently was because of anxiety or anger, not creativity. The CALM app states, “ The mind has a funny way of kicking into overdrive just when you need rest the most. Stress and anxiety can activate your body’s “fight or flight” response, making it hard to stay asleep . ” For me, waking up at 3am h...
