View Finders Puts the Beauty of Georgia In Focus Premieres Saturday, April 23 at 9 AM By Mandy Wilson

A

s the credits roll on each episode of View Finders, you’ll hear “Chasing Light,” an original song written and performed for the program by the Georgia band The Lonesome Dawn. The tale of photographers capturing images is perfect for co-hosts and program creators Chris Greer and Jason Clemmons. Though they come from very different backgrounds, the two connected through their craft, and now they’re giving GPB viewers the chance to be inspired by Georgia’s beautiful landscapes and learn photography techniques that anyone can use. Chris, a professor of instructional technology at Georgia College, author and successful professional photographer, first met Jason, the owner of Sunrise Grocery, a popular Blairsville tourist spot, after they corresponded through social media.

“I bought a camera and just tried to learn how to use it. I shot everything automatic, but I came away with some images that compositionally, I thought were really strong.”

gpb next magazine Jason, who owns the store with his wife Jessica, says he first really became interested in photography when he bought a camera for their honeymoon in Glacier National Park. “I bought a camera and just tried to learn how to use it,” he explained. “I shot everything automatic, but I came away with some images that compositionally, I thought were really strong.” Since that time, Jason has honed his skills and produced a calendar every year, while Chris is set to release his second book, Naturally Georgia: From the Mountains to the Coast, this summer.

Photo credit: Jason Clemmons Ironically, as Chris explains, the inspiration to produce something for television came after being out on a shoot and then coming back to his cabin, where he watched an episode of GPB’s Emmy award-winning original series Georgia Outdoors, which he’d been a regular viewer of since moving to Georgia. “The wheels started turning, and I called Jason,” said Chris. “I had already done a little work with GPB in the past on the academic side doing some virtual reality field trips on the GPB Education site.” Their hope was that the show would be a vehicle to get people out to enjoy the beauty of Georgia through photography. “We

aperture, but at the same time we did want to provide some insight into improving your photography,” said Chris. “We even have some scenes where we put up our professional gear and just get our phones out and show those pictures to the audience, so they can say ‘Hey they got these pictures with literally the same phone that I have, so that means I can take this picture too.’”

Photo credit: Jason Clemmons So what can people expect to see on the program? “My favorite thing to photograph is woodland trees and stuff,” Jason explained. “Chris was like, ‘You’ve got to go to Cumberland. That’s like tree nirvana.’ We talked about Blood Mountain. The rest was kind of like going with a theme, like the coast, the swamp, the mountains, and the river. We’ve got these spectacular places, and they are totally different.” In addition to sharing a love of photography, Chris and Jason are also big music fans and wanted to incorporate Georgia musical artists, such as the aforementioned band The Lonesome Dawn, into the program. A call out on social media resulted in musicians from all over the state responding that they wanted to be a part of the program. “Jason and I are artists,” said Chris. “Musicians are artists. There’s a big artist community in Georgia, so why not try to combine all of our crafts into something special?” Tune in for the premiere of View Finders at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 23.

JOHN LEMLEY’S CITY CAFÉ PREMIERES ON GPB CLASSICAL APRIL 5

gpb.org/classical

Host John Lemley

B

eginning Tuesday, April 5, listeners of GPB Classical will hear a new program joining the lineup. John Lemley’s City Café, hosted by well-known Atlanta media personality John Lemley, will air at 1 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays.

Lemley says the show’s playlist and presentation style were originally inspired by Classic FM, a commercial station in London. “I feel like it’s a good, solid formula to sort of grab the ears and attention of listeners from multiple walks of life whether they are not familiar with classical at all, are casually acquainted with it, or know their Joseph Haydn scores inside and out,” said Lemley, who first began hosting and producing a variety of news and arts programs in Atlanta in 1997 for Atlanta NPR affiliate WABE. In 2015, Lemley moved his cultural program, City Café to WMLB-Atlanta, which eventually went off the air. Now that the program is available across all of Georgia through GPB Classical, he says he hopes the show’s welcoming tone will help make classical music more accessible and relevant statewide.

“With every piece of music I play and every word I speak, my focus is on the listener’s lifestyle and what occupies their time during the early afternoon hours.”

- John Lemley

Plans for the program include a Top 500 playlist of classical music, mixing in some film scores, and video gaming music, which Lemley explained has become a successful platform for composers. “With every piece of music I play and every word that I speak, my focus is on the listener’s lifestyle and what occupies their time during the early afternoon hours,” says Lemley. “Therefore, City Café’s playlist is bright and upbeat with occasional selections picked to add a little relaxation to their weekday. In essence, it’s classical music for modern life.”

GPB’s No Pledge Drive Pledge Drive Starts Monday, April 11 There’s something about a public radio fund drive…the excitement of listeners joining together to support programs that matter.. But then there’s the other thing – interrupting those programs to ask for your support. So, to bring you the news you need with minimal interruption, this spring we’re doing something different. We’re calling it GPB’s No Pledge Drive Pledge Drive. Instead of taking time away from programs for traditional pitch breaks, you’ll hear short messages reminding you of how essential your support is to GPB. It’s all about more programming and less on-air fundraising. GPB relies on listener support to cover the costs of the programs we bring you, so please join us in our commitment to less intrusive fundraising this spring. It all starts on April 11!

What Our Donors Are Saying – Political Rewind Before I moved to Minneapolis in 1976 to join General Mills, I’d spent 10 years in Washington on the Hill, where I was the Legislative Director of the Committee on Education and Labor in the House of Representatives. At General Mills, among the functions that reported to me was Global Public Affairs. So, perhaps immodestly, I consider myself an aboveaverage consumer of political commentary, and I think Bill Nigut and his panelists are as good as it gets. As Lyndon Johnson once said, “Just give it to me with the bark off” and they do. It’s so refreshing and informative. In a functioning democracy, the press plays a vital role. Bill and his gang are fulfilling that responsibility. Sadly, too many others in the media are not. - Austin Sullivan

CEO SPOTLIGHT

CONVERSATIONS ON FRANKLIN: A VIRTUAL EVENT SERIES by GPB CEO Teya Ryan Whether you’re a history buff or not, the accomplishments of Benjamin Franklin are sure to pique your interest. As noted in this month’s television highlights, renowned filmmaker Ken Burns’ latest documentary, Benjamin Franklin, explores the revolutionary life of one of the 18th century’s most consequential and compelling personalities, whose work and words unlocked the mystery of electricity and helped create the United States. “Write things worth reading,” he said in Poor Richard’s Almanack, “or do things worth the writing.” Benjamin Franklin did both. As a companion to the documentary, PBS has produced a four-part conversation series featuring Ken Burns and special guests. Viewers can gain a deeper appreciation for Franklin’s contributions and understanding of the documentary by viewing the Conversations on Franklin: A Virtual Event Series at pbs.org/ kenburns/benjamin-franklin.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN – A FILM BY KEN BURNS MONDAY, APRIL 4 - TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 8 PM

American Commissioners of the Preliminary Peace Negotiations with Great Britain. Courtesy of Benjamin West, in the collection of Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library Benjamin Franklin, whose life has been celebrated as a quintessential American story, was anything but typical. His 84 years spanned nearly the entirety of the 18th century, an epoch of revolutionary change in science, technology, literature, politics and government—change that Franklin himself helped to advance. While Franklin was committed to the ideals of the Enlightenment—always looking to improve himself, his community and humanity at large—he was also full of contradictions. Ken Burns explores the life and work of this consequential figure in American history in a new two-part documentary, featuring the voices of Carolyn McCormick, Josh Lucas, Paul Giamatti, Liam Neeson and Mandy Patinkin as Benjamin Franklin.
