Howdy! I'm David Vaughn, a student (graduating in August!) and photographer at Texas Tech University. I started getting serious about photography in 2009, and since then I have poured most of my free time into improving and building a portfolio that I won't love today and hate tomorrow. I'm not there yet, and probably won't ever be, but it's a goal to strive for! =D

I'm hoping to move to LA to become an actor who's only working at this diner until I get my big break. Not really, but I actually am moving to LA in August just to see if I have what it takes to survive in the big city!

Mostly what I enjoy shooting are portraits and editorial/photojournalism. I worked for my local newspaper in high school and spent a semester shooting for the university paper until I got my current internship taking photos for the university's marketing department. I love photos or sets of photos that tell a story through their genuineness. That's what draws me so often to photojournalism. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy other types, though. I appreciate all genres....just some more than others. ;)

And lastly; as can probably be deduced from my responses on Fstoppers articles , I enjoy a bit (correction: a lot) of sarcasm and satire, so don't take any of my responses tooooo seriously. I'm just a bitter old man trapped inside a snarky young body. Actually, that sounds like a perfect movie for Adam Sandler. Brb, gotta go work on the script.
