Daniel Houghton is a senior at Western Kentucky University majoring in Photojournalism/New Media Publishing and minoring in Entrepreneurship. In some ways it was destiny for him to attend Western. While Daniel grew up in Atlanta, his grandparents home sits in the shadow of the WKU Journalism school. He recently saw a photo of his mom’s photojournalism class and easily spotted her, as she was the only woman. While the camera gear has changed since the late 70’s his mom had some of the classes he is now taking.

Daniel’s parents work for Delta Air Lines and that has enabled him to travel all over the world. In Europe he photographed the beaches of Normandy to backcountry skiing in the Swiss Alps. In Africa, big game hunting to children’s orphanages. Travels in South America have lead him from the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru, to the small towns of Uruguay as well as Argentina.

In the summer of 2009, Daniel was a photojournalism intern at The Seattle Times. He is now finishing his degree at WKU and is available for assignments locally and internationally.
