Hi! My name is Allison. You can call me Aly if you wish. I'm 23-years-old and live in Connecticut.

I've always been geered towards going to college and getting degrees. However, I truly appreciate all forms of art. I enjoy writing, painting, graphic design, and photography. Here, I'll be posting any photos I take. I hope you all enjoy them.

Up until October 1, 2011, I've never edited any photos that are posted here on Flickr. All photos before this date were not edited in any way. However, I then decided that slightly altering brightness and contrast can truly improve a digital photo. Any photos posted on and after October 1 have probably been edited in this way.

I also am an active graphic maker on LJ. My username there is spriink. You may use any of my photos for graphics, just please credit me as either spriink @ LJ or alyshannon @ flickr. Also, I'd love to see what you make.
