PALMDALE — The city of Palmdale will host a free virtual motivational speech via Zoom on Thursday, July 30, at 9 a.m. featuring Benjamin Von Wong, a photography artist who uses his work to promote environmental issues.

Von Wong’s work lies at the intersection of fantasy and photography, and combines everyday objects with shocking statistics.
