Tim and his wife Renee dear the outdoors. They were introduced to places similar the Porcupine Mountains and the Boundary Waters Canoe surface area as leaders in Scouting with their son and daughter. After their kids aged out of Scouting, they continued making frequent wilderness camping ground trips on their ain. Both life-long Wisconsin natives they decided in 2016 that they were ready to purchase a property in the Northwoods.
A fan of canoes (he has 11, or as he likes to say, "Non even a dozen.") and of Sig Olson's writings, the goal was to find a place like Sig's Listening Point. Though it seemed impossible with the budget available one splendid morning, with the rain coming down and the mosquitoes attacking, they stepped out of the Jeep and fell in love with a yr-round cabin in Winchester. With the loons swimming past the dock and the current of air coming through the big white pines they decided to call their place, with the nod to Sig- Whispering Signal. Now they, with their springer Otca, spend as much time as possible at their motel.
Having retired after 30 years of teaching art in the D.C. Everest District at every level from Kindergarten to High School, Tim is now enjoying his dear for photography. While he'south done everything from portraits, to weddings, to instruction Loftier School photography- he now concentrates on combining his honey of the outdoors to create nature and fine fine art photographs. With the bulk of his photography concentrated in the Northwoods information technology seemed natural to name the photography endeavor- Whispering Point Photography.
His piece of work every bit appeared in numerous Wisconsin art shows over the last ten years and, in the summer of 2019, they purchased a tent set-up and attended many local Northwoods events displaying the photography. While 2020 was pretty much a wash out for shows, they're looking forward to 2021 and hoping to be able to get out again equally they enjoyed meeting so many wonderful people at the events.
