ABOUT by CAROLYN SEIBERT-DRAGER: “My photography is infused with my love of flowers and bright colors, sprinkled with an affection for poster and pop art. Photos are literally a snapshot in time, and I relish giving my flowers more time to be seen and loved.

I’m often asked why I always use my business name rather than my own; it’s because it reflects the roots of my inspiration. I grew up on a small dairy farm in Pennsylvania, and named my photography business in honor of my late father. My love of the land and everything that grows on it is deep in my soul, a bond with and a gift from my dad.

I have been a photographer most of my adult life, though primarily for work as part of a career in communications. I finally stopped ignoring a different potential side to my photography during the coronavirus pandemic. The idea of pursuing a more playful, creative version had been germinating — pun intended — in the back of my mind for months, and eventually I gave it a try. I’m having even more fun than I imagined.

A quote by botanist Luther Burbank from more than 100 years ago hangs in my studio: “Who does not love flowers? For whom will not flowers make more sunshine?” My photos are a reminder to take time to see and embrace the extraordinary all around us.”

ABOUT: Bruce Wilder is a Keedysville resident who dabbled in photography since he was a child. “My dad was always taking pictures, so my interest grew from that experience,” he said. “For years, all I took were black-and-white images that I developed and printed in my own darkroom. When digital came along, I began doing more color work.”

While working in other fields, as a carpenter, author head-shot photographer, then later on the owner of Turn the Page Bookstore, Wilder also participated in many photography and/or art contests and won several. He admitted he might be considered a professional photographer, but he added, “It’s not my main job.”

As a freelance photographer living in the Western Maryland area Wilder has freedom to move about and photograph what he likes. He has a studio in the local area and, recently, has focused on portrait and fine art figure work there. While, alternately, he focuses on landscape and natural scenes when traveling across the U.S. or abroad.
