Riemann's Cut: Hello. My Name Is Jackie Francis.

Hello. My Name Is Jackie Francis.

In honor of the day that's in it ("Oh Christ, I hate you bitch. Well you're a fucking bastard too." day) I thought I might tell you a short love story about a man named Jackie Francis and his wife Mary Anne "Lizzy" Harper. I'll let the man tell it in his own words.

Hello. My name is Jackie Francis. I was born in Dingle but grew up just outside the village, in Balls Bridge, Dublin. As you can see from my picture, I am a photographer. I'm not a photographer by trade though, it's just a hobby. For a living I work in a well known butchers off Patrick Street in Cork. I'm not a butcher either though, I just work there.

I like to talk about photography as I think it is very nice. I like to photograph all kinds of things. Nature, landscapes, flowers, vaginas, still life, people. I started taking photographs when I was 5. My family were too poor to buy me a camera though so I improvised by using my eyes instead of a camera. I saved up for 5 years to buy a really nice Nikon set-up with a long lens. I don't like Canon though. Canon is shit.

Photography is important to me because it has made me happy all my life. Photography has always been connected to my love life. I met my wife through photography. Below is re-enactment* of the first time I took a photograph of her.

I love my wife. She is beautiful, like my Nikon. I love taking pictures of my wife, when she's out shopping or when she's asleep. My wife is a wonderful woman, I hope to meet her one day.

Thank you Jackie!

SDaedalus said...: Happy Valentine's day to you too, Gamma Goblin, that was a heartwarming story.

I really hope that Mr Francis manages to stay alive until his wife is old enough to be approached without risk of arrest.; February 14, 2011 1:08 pm
Gammagoblin said...: Happy Valentines day to you specifically, SDaedalus! :) Oops, it's tomorrow already, oh well.

I have a feeling Mr. Francis may have more to say some day, although maybe not. Many characters who have appeared here, showing great potential, have never been heard of again. We shall see.; February 15, 2011 12:10 am
SDaedalus said...: I look forward to further instalments regarding Mr Francis, maybe detailing the missing Ballsbridge years?; February 16, 2011 12:03 am
Gammagoblin said...: I shall do my best. In the meantine check out these other "reader's letters" posts I've done.

Try Pussy Abuse and especially, The mysterious case of Gavin Gustav.

I had more written in the same vein but they have vanished. I've emailed Jim Corr to ask if it's a CIA coverup.; February 19, 2011 11:05 pm
