Discover the charm and character of Bloomsburg, a small town nestled in the Susquehanna River Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania, through the combined talents of two local photographers, J. Michael Harding and Tina Martyniuk.

​This gallery showcase captures the town’s unique spirit through a blend of unique compositions and thought-provoking descriptions. From familiar sights to quiet neighborhood moments, and from local landmarks to hidden corners known only to residents, J. Michael’s and Tina’s work highlights the deep connection between the people and the place they call home. Their shared passion for photography invites viewers to see Bloomsburg through fresh eyes, celebrating its history, heartwarming community projects, and a slower pace of small-town life as well as the continuous activities of those working to better their town — including Tina and J. Michael themselves.

This exhibition marks the introduction of two new artistic voices to the community. Tina Martyniuk, a Ukrainian immigrant who has embraced Bloomsburg as her home, and J. Michael, who is now after five years stepping forward to reveal his true identity as J. Michael Harding, are debuting their work together. With more collaborative projects on the horizon, this is just the beginning of their journey as artists, contributing fresh perspectives of the local landscape that they hold dear to residents and tourists alike. Join them on their journey!
