Hi, my name is Brittney. I just graduated with a B.A. in psychology that focused on research. I am currently taking a gap year until I apply to gradute school for my P.hd. in developmental research. So, one day I can go into adoption research to help adoptees like me because I never got that chance. Anyways, if you are here you are here about my photography. I got my first camera when I was 16. I am 31 now. I had no clue about them. My parents signed me up for a photography summer class at the same college I just graduated from. My first day. I walk in with my camera and people go wow can I see that. I was so confused. To me it was an old weird hammy down. They told me that this camera was one of the best cameras to own. It was a Pentax k1000. I learned how to print my own film and use my camera. The teacher liked how I shot film. I didn’t just see something and point a camera. The first day we went out. I saw a sculpture. I went underneath it. and shot it from under. He and everyone else was surprised I would lay on the ground to get a shot. I learned that with cameras, you have to let the camera do its own thing. In 2015, my family became homeless because of my parents divorce, we got evicted. While we were packing, I found a Canon Powershot G9. I had sworn to never go digital but I had no place to print my film. So, I tried it out. I loved it. But I am still stuck in my ways. I may put the camera on certain settings but when I shoot I often let the camera decide. I don’t put in my opinion too much. I put my full trust into the camera. I have had one photo published in a journal.
