Amir Medina is 16-year-old sophomore at Connections Academy, an online school program. He has been an honor roll student and member of the National Honors Society. He is also a member of the Alpha Esquires, which is Alpha Phi Alpha, Beta Psi Lambda Chapter’s mentoring program.  He enjoys martial arts and playing the guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medina has loved the visual art of photography.  It started with his grandmother’s small digital camera where he learned that pictures hold moments that are important.  He attended City-Walk workshops in Santa Monica at the Lomography Store and has done workshops with Frank Alli (KABC-TV) covering the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan Beach. The Los Angeles Standard has engaged him in working on his goals to become a photojournalist since Medina loves being engaged with positive activities within his community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medina is planning to attend college with a photojournalism major and a minor in computer science.  His ultimate goal is to become a cinematographer.<\/span><\/p>\n
