New Stuff

Here is some new stuff that I was just playing around with. The "real" photos still need to get developed.
But I hope you enjoy.. It's been a long while since I've posted anything I was really sick for awhile but now I can commit to my photographing daily promise.
Very Excited about it. =)
See you later
Cheers

Illinios

Heylo,
These are some photos I took with my phone while visiting my home. It was my dad's wedding which I am so glad I was able to come out for. They had the wedding on the UIC campus in Chicago. It was one of the most beautiful campus's I have ever seen. Lots of old architecture with ivy and laid brick walkways. Most of these photos are from the hotel that we stayed at also where the reception was held. All I can say was it was a beautiful building kept in touch with its older furniture and look. I hope you enjoy these photos and go and visit sometime. =)

I also am starting a type of challange for myself. There are times when I don't upload photos for months and I want to change that. So I told myself that everyday I must go out and photograph. What ever i can find. Hopefully I will keep to it and have some great photographs to show you.

Kind Regards,
Ashley

Ship Graveyard

Ship Graveyard
Thanks to my friend Cat I've found this wonderful place. People bring old ships here to rest. It is said that when ever you go back it looks different because there is new boats and others have sunk into the abyss of disgusting muck. To get great photos it is not easy. First you have to travel past the small graveyard into a field of amazing high grass past thorny branches across a wooden log and onto the muck.... all while carrying two wooden boards. which you use to walk on once in the muck. We happened to go on a day when it was 90 degrees so I wimped out and didnt get as close to the boats as I would have liked to but maybe some other time on a cooler day.
P.s. If you adventure out there bring shoes not flip flops!!! lol and expect to be covered in disgusting smelly muck. But it is worth it. Take a trip out to Staten Island and check it out/look it up.

Much Love
Ashley

Cedarmere

These are a few Photos I took at Cedarmere. Cedarmere is a free nature preserve area that has a lily pond an old greenhouse and a few old houses. It's really a great place to go visit. I took more photos with my film camera since my little lens is scratched for my digital canera ;( But I will upload the rest once I can develop them. I hope you like them and maybe even go visit It's a great place to paint and draw or relax. Just be careful to respect the Bee's homes.

Until Next Time

My Drawings

Hello,

I haven't taken too many photos lately but I have been drawing and doodling. I have this thing for drawing harmless monsters. Things with one arm longer than the other crippled feet and cute faces. I am working on a big canvas but here a few small pieces that I have finished or somewhat finished at least. They are part of my imaginary world. I am not a great drawer but these little drawings are special to me and still allow me to express myself. This is what is inside my head.....

THE CAT IS GETTING PRETTY COMFORTABLE
As I was Making Dinner I look out the Window and First see
him Eyeing me across the yard AND
Than after he steals snacks being the Snack Fiend That He Is
Decides to Cuddle up on our cushions.

Hello Again.

I've neglected my blog for a while and decided I need to get back on here. I am not sure if anyone really reads this but I hope so. I havent really gone out and taken photographs in awhile but have used my multiple iphone photo apps to capture some things. Which kind of counts right? lol These are a few from this application I downloaded the other day that lets you take lomography photographs.............. I am obsessed.

Other than that I have been searching for shadow boxes and other miscellanious things to build in. I am making my own world within boxes..should be interesting. Ill upload those projects a bit later when that is more organized. I am feeling better and soon Ill be in complete photo mode again taking shots of everything I can find. I am also thinking of taking a class in Coney Island for the summer to keep me busy...Which I am pretty excited about.

Well that is it for now, I'll be back soon....

Much Love,

Ashley

Rat

I found these creepy Rat's at Michael's arts store right after Halloween. They are probably the creepiest things I've ever seen. My mom decided to buy them for me because I was so amused by them. They now guard my record player.

I still wish I knew who made these...I'm very curious.

Much Love,

Ashley

WindMill

Me and My Boyfriend Walked who knows how far to get to this windmill... But it was so worth it. It was really amazing in this tulip garden. It looked as if you were in Holland. I really think you should make a visit to the windmill.
