The next day, Harry planned to do some work on a book he was writing, but our experiences with the new digital camera had distracted him.
Now, I was no stranger to being photographed. My folks had a camera. I had albums of the family while I was growing up. In college one night after some party, when I was living off-campus with four other girls we went a little crazy. I think it was Halloween. We were a tipsy—okay some of were smashed—when we got home and took a bunch of pictures of us fooling around, kissing, grab ass. Stuff like that. One of the girls from across the hall ran in and dropped her towel in front of the camera. We had some partly nude, mostly out of focus, badly framed shots of tits and asses and so forth. Just like a lot of the stuff you see on the Internet today from webcams.
I also had a few professional studio shots that showed a bit of cleavage or leg. Some swimsuit stuff. Nothing you couldn't show to your ancient grandmother.
Harry had a big old film camera and he did tabletop and nature scenes, many of which were hanging on his walls. At breakfast I could see he was still thinking about last night. Besides, he said so.
"You're not working today, right? Can we go down to the lake and try some outdoor pictures?"
Hey, I was up for it. "Of me? What shall I wear?"
"I dunno. It's hot so just shorts and a tube top I guess."
The lake in town used to be part of the river, until the river changed course so it, the lake, is a long fat curve. One end is real near the edge of town, the other is a couple of miles away.. There are parks and beaches in a couple of places. We drove to the far end where there are no real county parks, just clearings and some small natural beaches at the edge of the water. We had to thrash through bushes and tangles of high weeds to get to one that we found. But it was quiet when we got there about noon.
It was too quiet. There was no breeze and the sun was hot. In no time we were both sweating a lot. Plus Harry wasn't too happy with the light. But we soldiered on. He took some full body shots of me in shorts and my top. Then I took my top off and then my bottom. I made Harry take his shorts off so I could get some pictures of his cute ass and his gonads. His cock was limp and hung down over his balls. I tried a couple of closeups but he caught me and covered up. We were quite relaxed and having a good time. Fortunately we'd brought some bottled water along.
I took a big mouthful or water and leaned over and spit it on Harry's crotch. He jumped and I giggled. "I suppose now you want some pictures of us making love on the sand," I said. "Too bad there's no sand."
"No picture taker, either," he said. We'd already tried to make some pictures of our sex times, but it was too awkward what with framing the shot and then setting the timer and jumping into position. Too much to think about.
"We need a photographer," I said after one unsuccessful session.
Harry looked at me. I knew from that look he'd already thought of that.
"I bet Leon would be up for it," I said and started grinning. I just couldn't help it.
"Leon," said Harry. "Yeah, he'd do it in a heartbeat." Then he looked at me and laughed too.
I was sprawled on the weeds at the edge of the lake, sitting on my butt with my hands on the ground behind me. Not very graceful. Harry was a few steps away, fooling with the camera bag.
"Oh!" said a stranger's voice. "Excuse me. I didn't realize anyone was here." His voice kind of trailed off as he came closer and saw me, naked on the ground. He was young, one of the undergraduates who'd stayed in town for the summer, I figured. I squinted up at him. The sun was behind him so I couldn't see him too well. But I could tell from the way his face was turned down, he was staring at my body.
I didn't try to cover myself. Too late anyway. Harry stood up then, which startled the guy. I guess he hadn't noticed Harry. I think Harry forgot he was naked because he turned and started toward the guy, casual as you please, saying, "Sorry, we're using this beach now."
The guy looked and Harry told me later his mouth fell open and he sort of gulped. He turned and started away and said, "Sorry, you guys. Have fun then."
I giggled and tried to keep from laughing out loud. Harry looked at me and smiled. Then he had me go wade into the water up to my ass. We took a bunch of poses some in profile, some with my tits sort of outlined against the water. It was fun, and a hell of a lot cooler than before, but the mud felt icky.
On the way home Harry said, "I was a little surprised. That kid showing up didn't seem to bother you."
"You mean because I didn't try to cover up?"
Harry nodded. "He'd seen me, all of me, so it didn't seem important."
"Maybe you're turning into an exhibitionist," Harry said.
Weeks passed. Summer came to an end and it got cooler, thank God. Harry worked on his book and took a lot of pictures. Not just of me, of birds and flowers and weeds and just stuff. He'd spend hours at the computer transferring them and changing them with some picture program he had. I'd ask him about it and he'd shrug and say he was practicing and experimenting. I worked my regular days and had lunch with Gloria.
