EyeTrip Images – featuring the work of David Aughenbaugh
and a tribute to Byron Aughenbaugh
Dramatic images and animation through digital media

David Aughenbaugh
David likes to evoke a sense of mystery and surprise through his images. A nuanced manipulation of color compliments his natural sense of composition and abstraction. In this way, he brings a modern design sensibility to photography and art.
His artistic vision developed early, being raised in a home where every vacation centered on photography, and slide-show critique sessions were a daily part of life. He went on to create a 30-year career in visual effects for film and television including work on the Oscar-nominated short film "Pearl" in 2016, and feature film "First Man" which won the Oscar for Visual Effects in 2019.
David’s long list of visual effects credits includes major motion pictures, television commercials and interactive media. (His film credits can be found at IMDb.com) His career began as a 2D animator for cartoons and computer games. He helped to develop the first fully digital pipeline for broadcast cartoon animation in the 1980's. Both as an artist and in software development, he has credits on animated cartoons, over 50 PC game titles and maintained a regular column in TV Technology Magazine. In the dot-com era, he was involved in developing a network of solar-powered, remote-controlled video cameras, feeding live video streams of wild animals for clients like NationalGeographic.com and Discovery.com.

When not chasing unique images, David can be found playing drums, boogie boarding on the California coast, or hiking in the local hills.
