PBS39 & TEDxLehighRiver asked me to do a follow up to my previous TEDx talk. This is the write for the event: “Lehigh Valley photographer Frank Smith, who gave a TEDxLehighRiver talk in 2013 called “Looking Through the Lens: Vocation vs Avocation,” will discuss how he found alternative paths to get satisfaction from his work when the pandemic prevented him from exploring the world. His choices offer lessons for all of us.”

I hope you can Join me!

This past fall I was asked to do a presentation on my recent visit to Cuba for the Olympus InVision Photo Festival in Bethlehem , PA. During my preparation for the presentation, PBS39 asked if they could do a story on me because of my connection to the region and as an advocate of InVision. Here is the story.

I have done some work in the past for WLVT PBS 39. A few weeks ago they asked me if I could assist them by creating a new backdrop, which will be used, when they interview local and regional politicians. We discussed various options and decided on downtown Allentown, PA. Particularly, with all of the new activity and construction taking place, it seemed to make sense. The following final three images are what they selected. It was fun to see the image show up as a backdrop on MSNBC the other day.
