Chapter 12: Corrin: Kodak Moment

Rinny looked at her camera. She generally took about 20 photos per day, and could usually edit one or two of them to look spectacular. Today, however, she simply wasn't happy with any of the photos, and she'd taken 50+. She had a look at her photos, and she couldn't work out what was wrong. None of the photos were bad, it was just that none of them /motivated/ her.

For as long as she could remember, Rinny had wanted to be a professional photographer. Generally she specialised in landscapes, but she had taken photos of animals before, which had worked quite well for her. When she had turned 11, her parents had bought her Adobe Photoshop, and within a month, she could do almost anything with photos.

Rinny's preoccupation with the digital world had caused repercussions on her social life. For the first few years of high-school, she had been extremely shy. She could easily have been one of the more popular girls in school; though only standing tall, she had a great body. Not that anyone knew, of course, as she kept it covered up. Her big break popularity-wise, however, was when Alex had decided to apply to a modelling agency. Rinny had heard about it, and volunteered her services as a photographer. She wasn't fantastic at photographing people, but she had a good printer, and printed out some shots that would have set Alex back a good three or four hundred dollars.

Alex had appreciated it, and to their surprise, the two had gotten along quite well. Alex had introduced Rinny to the rest of her friends. Rinny quickly realised that this was her one chance at popularity, and grabbed it with both hands. Within a few weeks, she was one of the gang. Since then, she had enjoyed ruling the roost along with her friends. Occasionally, she took a shot of the entire group, and printed a few copies up, but generally she got by on her charms, rather than her technological skill.

Despite sitting with one of the more fashionable groups at school, Rinny hadn't changed her policy on showing off her body. She, along with Kerin and Liesel, were along the more conservative dressers of the group, and Rinny was quite happy for it to stay that way. She felt that covering up her body added a bit of allure, but perhaps it was adding a bit too much allure. Rinny had never had a boyfriend, a fact which had not gone unnoticed by the rest of the group. They had been surprisingly good about it, pitying instead of shunning her. Of course, Rinny wanted to be neither pitied nor shunned.

Rinny sighed, and went back to skimming the photos she had taken. Typically, she took photos of landscapes, however one photo caught her eye. It was originally of a landscape, but a local family had wandered in, and Rinny had framed the photo to feature them. She liked it, and in a flash realised what her photos were missing. The human element! She'd gotten so used to taking photos of inanimate objects and of landscapes that she had forgotten to try to even it out with photos of people, going about their daily life, or perhaps in unusual situations.

She took another look at the photo, and decided not to edit that one tonight. While the family of four was featured, it was still primarily a landscape shot, and she was in the mood for editing a more person-oriented photo. She briefly looked through her sorted collection of 10 000+ photos, before realising that none of them would fit the bill, and she'd have to take some more tonight.

An only child, Rinny was alone in the house. Her parents were out at a show of some kind, and wouldn't be back until late. She had the whole house to herself.

So Rinny set up a tripod, set her camera onto auto-timer, and sat on her parent's bed (it was the room with most room) to have a photo taken. She was still wearing her pink pyjamas, she reasoned that noone but herself would see these photos, so there was no need for embarrassment. She took photos of herself in various different poses, looking off to the side, lying flat on the bed, kneeling, and on her back. The time blurred, and at the end of the shoot, Rinny was surprised to find that she'd been there almost an hour, and taken over 200 photos.

Getting back to the computer, she felt slightly different. It was as if there was a warmth inside her, a glow of some kind. It just felt so good to pose in front of a camera, so ... sexy. She shook it off, and looked through the photos she'd taken. Most of them were fairly mundane, and she was disappointed to still find herself uninspired.

If she'd thought about it, she might have noticed that her pussy was getting slightly damp at the thought that she'd have to go back and take more photos. Rinny, being without a boyfriend for the 18 years she'd been alive was no stranger to masturbation, but she only masturbated once a month, and except for those rare times of self-pleasure, she never thought about her "down there" area. So Rinny scanned through the photos without noticing her growing arousal.
