"Say, 'please'."
"Please."
SNAP!
"Say, 'limburger'."
"Limburger."
SNAP-SNAP!
"Now, with emphasis, say, 'motherfucker'."
"Motherfucker!" (almost shouted)
SNAP-SNAP-SNAP-SNAP!.
Photographing my fellow troops was easy. Yes, it was a snap, heh heh. Say a few choice words; capture a few choice expressions; reload. Process and print and get paid. No problem.
I was in a strange, workable situation. Officially, I was a communications technician at DivArty (Division Artillery) HQ at Fort Riley in the middle of Kansas. The reality in this gloomy post-VietNam era was that I couldn't get a security clearance to work commo - something about an old pot bust.
Fort Riley was home to the First Infantry Division, the Big Red One. Our chanted motto: "If ya gotta HAVE one, have a big RED one!"
The DivArty commander decided he needed a staff photographer more than a useless commo guy. I was visible and available. I had been shooting, processing and printing since I was a kid, working in my father's studio and darkroom. I had the skills and the tools. The colonel issued orders and I had a new assignment. I was given a mop closet as a darkroom, about 6 by 15 feet. I bought my own gear and chemicals and film and paper. I owned everything I shot. It was a dream job.
I shot events and actions of DivArty's units: parades, promotions, wargames and aerial surveys; stateside and overseas, wherever and whatever DivArty was active. I shot many, many official and unofficial portraits. Some flag-draped official pictures went to hometown newspapers with captions like
"Captain David Rice Joins Brigade Staff"
. Very few of those carried my
Spec-5 Ron Carson
byline.
The 'unofficials' were my gravy. I made enough on them to cover my costs of official shots and a bit more. Not that I got rich. But I could afford an apartment just off-post - much better than living in barracks, for sure. With judicious lighting and backdrops it served as a mini-studio space.
Except for printmaking after-hours in my cramped on-post darkroom, I took care to keep my 'official' and 'unofficial' work separate.
I was the troops' favorite portraitist. Guys liked me to emphasize their warrior-ness, so I shot their manly faces in high-contrast, high-detail, every pore and scar and rivulet of sweat showing, dramatic shadows, yada yada. Shooting black-and-white with grainy fast Tri-X or moody infrared (IR) film boosted the drama. Guys who were not too animalistic to keep girls had me shoot them with their wives and girlfriends in soft misty romantic moods.
And often more than merely 'romantic'.

--- Mackie's session
Specialist 4th Jim Mackie was a compact black gun-bunny (artilleryman) with a sweet personality and an IQ around 82. (The Army's cutoff was 80. If he didn't fuck up he could stay a Spec-4 forever.) He survived two tours in 'Nam with the usual concussions and some odd martial-arts moves. I think he had watched too many kung-fu films. He loved being photographed in "action shots", leaping about with hands and feet flying and
gi
swirling.
Mackie brought back a pretty Hmong girlfriend. Dia Thao was about Mackie's age and size with B-plus tits and a fierce determination. She definitely managed their relationship. She also loved being photographed - in sexual action.
My apartment bedroom was decorated and lit for 'boudoir' shots. I could quickly and easily change backdrops and coverings in a variety of materials, colors, and patterns. Pale redheads and blondes worked best set on darkness while darker subjects contrasted best against brighter backings. I chose neutral creamy cloth to set off Mackie and Dia's taut twilight bodies.
We started this session with Dia posing beside the bed. Garments slowly disappeared until she was quite nude. Poses: standing; sitting; lying; tempting. Body parts were concealed and revealed at Mackie and Dia's whims.
"Hey Carson, get her with with her legs spread out more, huh?"
"Is that okay with you, Dia?"
"Just fine," she nodded, and opened her thighs.
"Okay then, move your left knee out just slightly, yeah, like that. Tense your left leg, make the muscle stand out." SNAP-SNAP-SNAP!
Lights and filters and precise body angles adjusted. Intrusive lens work, again as demanded, posed from erotica (sensuous poses) - to pornography (her fingers inside her orifices) - to gynecology (straight up her trimmed wazoo).
"You get in closer now, Mister Ron. Get my fingernail against my clit, yes?"
Her bronze fingers were tipped with champagne nails each spun with eggplant spirals. I was shooting smooth black-and-white; only the contrast mattered.
"Just a minute. Hold like that while I reset the key light. Uh huh, there, that's best. Okay, slide your finger, just a little..." SNAP-SNAP! "Now, a finger on each side, yeah..." SNAP-SNAP-SNAP! "And open up just a little, wow, that's hot..." SNAP-SNAP-SNAP!
Dia rose. The emotional temperature rose. More garments were discarded more quickly. Mackie stood beside her in his naked glory. His hands stroked her body. Her hands stroked his long cock. SNAP-SNAP-SNAP-SNAP!
They took more active poses on and around the bed. Poses with them stroking genitals and going down on each other individually and mutually, shifting top-bottom-sides, dynamic. Poses with Mackie between Dia's firm thighs, his muscular buttocks straining, and their legs at various angles. SNAP-SNAP-SNAP! And then doggy-style, diagonal across the king bed, Mackie fucking her from behind. SNAP-SNAP! A nice show.
