Andre To, senior, returns from a brief break from the Amplifier. He was a photographer for the Amplifier last year, but didn’t make plans to rejoin the class his senior year. To realized he couldn’t resist the allure of photojournalism and decided to return to the Amplifier.

“I was looking at the online website for the Amplifier and felt that I could help improve the photo and graphic quality of the site,” To said, “Although I can’t switch into the class because of class conflicts, I will be coming in first period to upload and edit photos regularly and may be switching into third period independent study journalism.”

Having enjoyed taking photos since a young age, he bought his own camera when he was in seventh grade. To loves photographing sporting events since he likes trying to capture the action in a moment, and subsequently it is his most photographed subject coming in at over 2,000 photos for the online Amplifier.

To is the first in his family to like photography even though he has two older brothers, Arthur and Anthony, graduates. He wishes to follow in their footsteps and attend Oregon State Honors college next year.

“I want to continue taking photos into college and plan to be a photographer for the OSU student newspaper,” To said, “I hope to become the lead photo editor before I graduate.”
