Help a scientist today (Volcano photo requests)

Evening all,

I find myself on the cusp of submitting a paper on the impacts of volcanic ashfall, but although I've found several pictures on the internet and have acquired permission to use all the most appropriate ones, I still find myself wondering if I couldn't find any better ones. Thus I turn to the photographers of SDN on the remote offchance that anyone has ever taken any pictures of ashfall events, particularly of freshly fallen ash covering vegetation, or deposited into water, be it lakes, rivers or ocean.

Trust me, I have searched every corner of the internet for pictures and there aren't many good ones, so this isn't a request for anyone to point me in the direction of good photo sources, as I'm fairly sure I've found all of them, it's just on the remote off chance that somewhere on someones harddrive is a picture from some eruption that someone happened to be near that they'd be happy to have produced and properly credited in a non-profit academic review article.

In addition, if you know anyone who might have such pictures, could you please let me know - I'm keen to make this a review which is good not only for its content, but also as an accumulation of badass pictures which haven't been seen before by the academic world. Particularly as I've just finished perhaps the most frickin' awesome of all cartoon diagrams to go at the end of the review.

Thanks for reading!

I've been to the erupting volcanoes of Hawaii and I have some shots of the lava flows, but no ash falls. However, my tour guide (my former high school geology teacher) may have some. I'll track him down and ask.
