Artisticated Ivy: June 2010

On June 5, 2010 a tornado hit Leamington destroying and damaging many homes and properties, especially those along Seacliff Drive. Fortunately no one was killed, but one family was counting their blessings. When *Jane Doe* said she had a bad feeling and didn’t want to be at home on Saturday night, her husband thought it was just another one of her “inklings”. He eventually gave in, and the couple took their young son away for the night. Needless to say, they were experiencing some mixed feelings when they discovered a huge tree lying in the middle of their house, across their son’s bed. Thank God, they were not home that night!

Anyways, I went out with my family to drive around and take photos. Unfortunately almost all of the roads with damage had been closed off and police were directing traffic all over the place. Most of the pictures I took were from the vehicle, so I didn’t get a lot of what I wanted. Hopefully you see something that catches your eye.

I obviously haven’t posted in a long time, again. Not only have I not really had the photos to do so, but time seems to have got the best of me as well. Don’t ask me how; I technically have quadruple the amount of time that I had while in classes. I have not really been able to go out and shoot anything interesting. I have a few cool shots, but I will save those for another day.

I decided that for today, I wanted to post some of my older photos. It’s just basically sitting in a folder on my computer, so why not post some of it. You’ll notice different signatures throughout the photos (Artisticated Ivy, Ashlyne Ivy, Ashlyne Ivy O’Neil, Ivy Photography...) That is because originally I wanted to do photography under Ivy Photography, but realized someone already had that name, so I started playing around with signatures. I hope you enjoy what you see here, and it keeps you coming back.

I just realized that I posted a lot of photos...so hopefully I keep your attention long enough to look at them all.

Cheers, Ashlyne
