Dreadlock Holiday

Hey! Guess what! No, not that. Or that. No, not that, either. I'll have to tell you - I'm on holiday! Yippee!

Of course, being a 'struggling artist' (read: penniless hobo), I can't afford to go anywhere sunny and nice, but hey - at least I'm not at work. Huzzah!

Instead, I am spending some time with my parents, my sister and their pets, back home in Ringwood. Ringwood is a little market town on the outskirts of the New Forest, in the South of England, and is famous for three things:

1. It has a brewery.
2. It was used for location filming for the BBC sitcom The Brittas Empire.
3. The 1st Duke of Monmouth was held in the town in 1685, before being executed.

There's not a great deal to do in the town, to be honest, but its nice enough to return to once in a while, to escape city life for a bit.

So, in the absence of anything else to do, I have been taking snaps of things with my digital camera.

Therefore, it's now...HOLIDAY PHOTO TIME! (Try not to snore too loudly).

Me and my parents' frankly excellent cat, Sid. Look at his cute face!
And the cat's. Hahahahaha! Oh my!


The family dog, Ringo. The stupidest thing on four legs.


Me in my 'I'm Kind of a Big Deal' t-shirt which I won via Fuel My Blog.
I've been meaning to snap myself in it for a while now,
and finally - FINALLY - I have gotten round to it. Hooray!


That darn dog again.

And there's the cat again. Note his unamused face. He is less of a LolCat, and more of a FuckYouCat.

Ringo, meanwhile, auditions to be a RipDog.

Even when on holiday, I'm still hard at work on The Astonishing Adventures of Lord Likely. I just never stop - and it's all for YOU.

Finally, big hugs to you all. Awwww. How sweet.
(PS: I have my nob out, just out of shot).

So there you go.

Tomorrow, I might go and take some pictures of some crows or something. Or possibly my ball-bag.

- Fanton.

Your ball bag would make an interesting picture. Will you post it? Where can I purchase one of those shirts?
The cat rocks, the dog...well, is a dog. Enjoy your holiday my sweet.

You are a true master of the blurry, slightly-out-of-focus style of photography that amazes and awes even as it instills the worrying thought: "aieee! cataracts!"

Hey, thanks, Beenzzz! I might try and post a picture of my ball-bag, if I can find a camera with a wide enough lens. OH YEAH.

Mark, David Bailey cannot touch me in terms of my photography skillz. In fact, he cannot touch me at all, the filthy photographer bastard.

I've been to Ringwood. I used to head down to the local Mags Courts round there to represent the local punks who'd been terribly naughty in the woods.
