    c.s. Pacific Guardian, alongside in Halifax, N.S
    And finally, one of my own pictures! OK, the Pac G doesn't look her best in this shot - but those rust streaks are the result of some hard work in the North Atlantic. (The ship had just got into port after several weeks at sea, travelling up from Bermuda and then working on a submarine telecoms cable repair off Newfoundland) Photo taken in April, 2007 by Vic Rolfe

    Scruffy - Two

    From the album: My early attempts at pastel painting

    One hundred percent "askal" (mongrel - lit. "street dog"!) This is my good friend Scruffy, one of the dogs on a farm where I sometimes stay in Mindanao, in the Southern part of the Philippines. Scruffy askal he may well be, but he's such a lovely dog! Here he is, wondering if it's time yet for another long walk around the rice fields... Hence the look of sheer anticipation on his face in this painting! Based on one of my photographs. Rembrandt, Schmincke and Unison pastels on Dominion St. Armand 100% flax, hand-made watercolor paper. 21" x 29" (53cm x 73cm) To purchase a high quality print of this image, please visit: ArtWanted.com Various gift items and dozens of personalized products such as mouse pads, t-shirts, greeting cards, mugs, puzzles and a lot more besides are also available, customized with this image at ArtWanted.com

    I agree... I agree that I am stupid! VERY VERY STUPID in fact!! I was stupid enough to trust the guy sitting next to me on a jeep in the Philippines when any Filipino would tell you not to trust the guy sitting next to you on a jeep in the Philippines - Not even if, (as was the case with the punk that robbed me,) he looks decently dressed, well-fed and has a pleasant, smiling demeanor. Filipinos don't trust people they don't know - and ESPECIALLY NOT in public jeeps. I did - and that was STUPID, STUPID, STUPID of me! However, I am not so stupid as to think that we don't have pick-pockets and thieves in the UK - or any other country in the world, for that matter. I am also NOT so stupid as to think that all Filipinos are thieves. I don't think that for one second - and nowhere in my previous posts on this subject did I even imply that - let alone be stupid enough as to actually make such a stupid and obviously ridiculous statement. No. The only moral to this story for foreigners, whilst they are guests of this wonderful country; is to learn from the people around them and keep their hands tightly on their wallets at all times. The pouch thing that fits on my belt seems like a bloody good idea to me - although I have to say that I WILL be fitting a miniature padlock to the zipper for whenever it contains any substantial amount of money and that any thieving bastard who tries to steal it from me by force WILL have to kill me first! They can keep the other wallet that I mentioned below... The one for my small change and a few fake 1,000 peso bills!!

    Shoubi with Eddie Boy

    From the album: Dogs

    Shoubi, a really soppy Pit Bull Terrier bitch that I bought from one of my neighbors here in the Philippines. (I had been taking care of her for the previous year, in order to save her from being kept couped up in a tiny little cage... By the time her previous owners decided to sell her, I had already become quite attached to Shoubi and I couldn't stand the thought of her being bought by someone else and spending the rest of her life on a short piece of chain - or in another small cage...) Eddie Boy is the guy who looks after Shoubi for me when I am away and he often takes her for walks even when I am home. I think Shoubi loves Eddie more than me - but that's OK... Just as long as she is happy!
