Police Activity League (PAL) Teenagers Yaser Garmakani (left) and Edgar Sernas capture photos at Douglas Park during Santa Monica Human Relations Council's 'Kids with Cameras' summer photo workshop on Wednesday, July 8, 2009. About 20 photography students meet every week at PAL on Wednesdays where they discuss their weekly assignments with professional photojournalist Fabian Lewkowicz. They are executing a photo essay project illustrating the Mid City neighborhood. The students are transported to designated locations in the "Mid City"area by PAL officers Austin Brown and Jennifer Sekera. All assignments are performed in a photojournalistic style. Photo captions are just as important as the images captured. "Its amazing to see what incredible images these young students can get!' said Fabian. The students' photo essays will be displayed at McKinley Elementary School on Saturday, October 3.
