Category: Photographs
Photography is another great love of mine. I got my first DSLR over a decade ago and have been teaching myself ever since (though now I’m a mirrorless man). Most of my photos are from travel and sport matches, but I do try to capture the odd street photo with my iPhone.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Greg (@jimmygoodwords) #1 Kansas 63 #11 West Virginia 74 The last time West Virginia defeated the top-ranked team in the land was February 1983 – 17 months before I was born.

Uncooperative In Nature And Art
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Greg (@jimmygoodwords) I hated this tree. It was uncooperative in nature and art; disagreeable in temperament.

I Knew How To Make It Go Away
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Greg (@jimmygoodwords) Her eyes were raw and red as if she’d been crying for hours but there had been no tears even five minutes before. “Just… give me a second.” She gathered herself, mostly through blinking and staring at the floor again. When she started to […]

Some use […]
