Just like Captain James T. Kirk, Timothy Baur is an Iowa man. Tim’s love of photography started as a teenager in Austin, Minnesota (home of Spam & Hormel chili) with a 35mm Vivitar camera and the passion continues to this day.
Tim moved on to the University of Arizona and a career as a dive instructor. I know what you’re thinking, Arizona and diving? Not a natural combo, so off to Los Angeles and a new occupation….photo assistant. Tim apprenticed under Bob Grigg and took off on his own 5 years later in 1989. And speaking of taking off, Tim was also getting his pilot’s license at the same time.
