Brittany Victoria Allen
I am, first and foremost, an ARTIST.
I draw, take photos, play three different musical instruments, sing, and write. Art is expression and, being a rather opinionated and outspoken person, I have always felt the necessity of self-expression. I realized at a young age that, with my skill level, I would most likely never make a living drawing or painting so I began the search for a fitting occupation, the only requirement being some form of a creative outlet. Photojournalism. The conjunction of writing, news writing, and photography, the act of capturing a single moment of time and preserving the beauty, the emotion, the impact for years to come.
AND, although I pretty much despise the decline in print media and the printed, tangible word, I write here not only to be heard, but because I have also recognized that just because I don't particularly approve of the overwhelming shift of news and reading material to the Internet, doesn't mean I should not use the Internet to share my art; my words, my photographs, my news articles which have actually seen paper. That would be wasting a great tool. Which is all the Internet should be, a tool, not a way of life. I am Brittany Allen and this is brighteyesphotos.weebly.com, I am not brighteyesphotos.weebly.com.
