He is always wearing a red jacket and carrying his camera with smiles on his face saying hello to everyone at all events in Chinatown. He has been invited by many groups to take photos for them. &#8220;I have been doing volunteer work for most of the events,&#8221; said Jang. Jang is also famous for providing free senior portrait services at the street events in Chinatown for years. During his upcoming solo photo exhibit, free portrait service will also be included. As always, Jang would donate his time and work, the materials to make the photos&#8217; print copies are usually funded by groups or organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was also recently awarded the Jefferson Awards too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"313\" height=\"421\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"174\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131439.png?resize=313%2C421&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131439.png?w=313&amp;ssl=1 313w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131439.png?resize=223%2C300&amp;ssl=1 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"414\" height=\"678\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"179\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131446.png?resize=414%2C678&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131446.png?w=414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131446.png?resize=183%2C300&amp;ssl=1 183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"339\" height=\"299\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"177\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131453.png?resize=339%2C299&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131453.png?w=339&amp;ssl=1 339w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131453.png?resize=300%2C265&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"402\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"178\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131459.png?resize=686%2C402&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131459.png?w=686&amp;ssl=1 686w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shoeboxventures.org\/website_636677ea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-11-131459.png?resize=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frank Jang, 70, is a celebrity, super volunteer, historian and photographer.
