About Me


Photos: flickr
Blog: dump site

I take photos of things and places. Not all of my photos are as boring as the one above this piece of text.
On occasion, I paint and draw things and places, too. The photography thing has sort of taken over, but I'm working at getting the pendulum to swing back the other way.

My Interests

Painting, drawing, photography, bicycles, cities in general but Chicago in particular, architecture, industrial archeology, respectful trespassing, etc...

I'd like to meet:

People with similar interests who are not jerks.

Music:

Tinnitus.

Movies:

Movies are OK.

Television:

My favorite TV show is looking out my living room window. I also like The Wire, probably because it closely replicates what I see out my living room window.

Books:

My Blog

Getting more people to read my blog.

Google 'cheap hookers in Mississippi' and a link to dump site is on the first page....

Industrial Strength Painting

I'm impressed: Cindy Tower, an artist based in New York and St. Louis, makes large paintings of industrial ruins from direct observation on location. This is something I've always wanted to ...

Social networking sites are stupid and pointless.

I'm also on facebook, for some dumb reason.

This is not my blog...

This is: nvaughn.blogspot.comOnly two posts and right now it's like my flickr page with more words and less cat photos. But the plan is: photos and words about wandering around derelict buildings an...

Why Flickr is Odd Sometimes

Someone left comments on a few of my photos posted on flickr, so I go to that persons profile to see what kind of work they do. No photos, at least none for public viewing, but this person does belon...
