Prologue:
Been awhile since I've posted anything. Sorry about that, but other things have taken a priority during these troubling times. As for the narrative below, I was hoping to document the entire event in a single accounting, but it wasn't possible without it being unacceptably long. Way longer than I'd like and as a result decided to split it into two parts. Maybe multiple parts by the time I'm finished documenting everything so please bear with it. Thank you.
As always, comments are welcome as long as they are constructive.
----------------------------
Early one Sunday evening while Walter, Brenda and I were relaxing watching television my dear friend Rita called. After the usual pleasantries were over, and after I excused myself to talk in another room, Rita asked if I was interested in a photo assignment..."While you've photographed our group of intimate friends more than once, this would be mostly of people you don't know so you might not be comfortable with it. But when Jill mentioned something to me about it I immediately thought of you."
Jill, along with her husband Jack, are Bill and Rita's neighbors. Next door neighbors even though their homes are nearly a half mile apart since both sit on approximately fifty acres of land. Jack and Jill are former school teachers in their early sixties and what I would call ex-swingers. Ex because they lost contact with the people they were intimate with after they retired and moved out of town, of which all of them are school teachers still actively teaching. Long story short, after a lot of organizing effort on Jack and Jill's part, they were able to arrange a get-together at their place in the country, and Jill mentioned something to Rita about how Jack thought it would be a nice idea to photograph the event.
"You mean to tell me none of the people participating can either photograph or video things?"
"Apparently they've attempted it in the past, but none of their efforts ever turned out well. Everything looked amateurish. And they're more interested in a nicely done photo slideshow than a video. Since it could be the last time they're all together, both Jack and Jill want to 'document' it and have it nicely organized on a DVD for everyone. And by someone who understands and appreciates their lifestyle. Neither Jack or Jill are proficient with a camera, along with anyone else, and couldn't think of someone they could ask to do it and be confident they'd be discreet about it. That's when I thought of you."
"Did you mention me to Jill?"
"Yes I did, and she was ecstatic when she found out you could do it. I even showed her some of the photos you've taken at our get-togethers. She loved the spontaneity of the photos in that everything looked candid versus staged, and without anyone having 'red-eye'. The question is, are you willing to do it?"
"What about the other people. Are they agreeable to someone outside their intimate group photographing things?"
"Yes, but only after Jack and Jill vouched for you and assured them you would be discreet about things. Once over that hurdle they asked me to talk to you."
"How many people are we talking about?"
"Excluding Jack and Jill, a half dozen other couples if everyone shows. All in their mid forties to mid sixties, and no one you know. At least I don't think you do."
"I doubt it. I can't think of anyone I know who's a school teacher, or their spouse. And it's a lot of people to photograph during a group sex session. You know how hectic it can get once everyone gets involved in things. Not sure if I can do it alone."
"Are you thinking of including Walter?"
"Depends when the get-together is. Otherwise, Brenda for sure."
"Speaking of Brenda, has she decided what she's going to do as far as staying here or going back east?"
"Coincidently, she received a call yesterday from Lois about an apartment being available in the complex where she lives. We're going to look at it tomorrow after we clean the house. My best guess is she's going to rent it, at least for a year."
"That's good news. You must be thrilled your only sister will be staying here with you. At least another year."
"Yes I am...very much so. Now when is Jack and Jill's get-together?"
"Three weeks from yesterday."
"I need to check with Walter. Seems he mentioned something about a business trip in the near future. At a minimum, Brenda will need to accompany me to help with things. Something she's gotten very good at, as well as with a camera since she took an interest in photography and I've been giving her lessons. One obvious question I need to ask...are we expected to be naked while taking pictures?"
"You should know better. Of course. Very much so since most of the couples said they wouldn't be comfortable with a fully clothed photographer roaming around while they're having sex. As much as they like the idea of the DVD slideshow, they feel they couldn't relax with a fully clothed person taking photos. And I know they'll be a lot more appreciative of the fact the photographer is a female if you decide to do it. And while you haven't asked yet, have no fear you'll be well compensated for your time and effort. Money isn't an issue with Jack."
"I didn't think it would be and wasn't worried about it. As for being naked, I figured it was a given, but wanted to be sure in case Brenda will be accompanying me even though I doubt she'll object to having to get naked."
