He Still Has The Eye: Former Newspaper Photographer Frames MLB Spring Training From Arizona
(Publisher’s Note: One of the best parts of working as a newspaper writer all across the country was collaborating with talented and humble photographers. One of those photographers was Jeff Goulding, a friend at the Times Herald-Record based in a place called Middletown, NY north of New York City. I admired Jeff’s recent photos at spring training in Arizona and asked Jeff if it would be OK to share his wonderful photo work with LVSportsBiz.com. He said, sure. And as a result, you get to enjoy Jeff’s spring training photo touch in Arizona.)
