Michael Hower is an artist and photographer from Central Pennsylvania. His work focuses on historical themes. He photographs historical and abandoned places, depicting human objects and structures in modified environments now devoid of human activity. For him, the artwork is always more than the photograph. It is also about the research, the place-seeking journey and the telling of forgotten stories after the capture is made. His artwork has been displayed in galleries, museums, and publications around the country.

Jack Bordnick
Jack Bordnick started as a product designer, establishing his own design business in New York, Sante Fe, and Europe. He is now an artist with a focus on sculpture work and photography. His artwork is a form of self-reflection on his own story. Many of his pieces involve a unique cross between the living and the inanimate. The humanistic qualities of these sculptures are his way of giving a voice to what were once objects without any sign of life or soul. He often also incorporates surrealist ideas, mythological themes, and magical imagery in order to tell deep, whimsical tales beyond common storytelling.
