Jim Goes to College
Part Ten: The Photos
"OK, then we'll start with a set of photos," she said. "Stand over here in front of this background."
All three of us walked toward the camera side of the room. Ashley and I walked to the background where she showed me where to stand. In the meantime, Beth wrote a number from my folder on a small marker board. She then positioned the board on the floor against the background so it would be in the photos. I assumed the number was used to uniquely identify me when someone later reviewed the photos.
"Now, stand right here, as close as you can to the background," instructed Ashley, "otherwise, the measurements in the photo will be slightly off."
I stood in front of the background, facing forward toward the camera. Ashley made small adjustments to my position, centering me within the hash marks on the background. Once she was satisfied that everything looked correct, she moved away to get out of the shot. At the same time, Beth took her place behind the lens of the camera.
"Now, Jim," continued Ashley, "We need to take photos of you from all sides; front, back and each side. And we'll need you to assume a few different positions. So always stay in your current position until we direct you to move, OK?"
"Sure," I answered.
"We'll start with you facing forward as you are now," said Ashley. "Stand up straight, feet together and place your arms at your sides."
The strobes flashed as Beth took the first photo.
"Now, stay facing forward," said Ashley, "but hold your arms straight out on your left and right sides. We need them held out 90 degrees, perpendicular from your body."
I raised my arms as instructed.
"Good, and separate your feet," she added, "placing them on the red marks we have on the floor."
I looked down to see two red pieces of tape on the floor that looked like they were slightly more than 3 feet apart. I moved my feet into position, covering each piece of tape in the process. With my feet parted, I felt slightly more exposed than before.
"Now, look back up toward the camera," Ashley ordered.
The lights flashed once again.
"Good," said Ashley, "just one more facing forward. Keep your feet exactly where they are, but place your hands behind your head."
I raised my hands and placed my palms flat against the back of my head. I was now in the same position that the doctor required for my genital exam just a few short minutes ago. The only difference was that this time, I kept my jock on to retain some small bit of modesty.
The lights flashed again.
"Now, arms back down at your sides and a quarter turn to your right," she ordered.
Beth quickly snapped the photo.
"OK, now another quarter turn to your right so your back is toward us," said Ashley.
I rotated once again, this time providing them with a full view of my bare, jock-strapped ass. Other than when Ashley followed me into the room, this was the first time my backside was exposed to them. Facing them was bad enough, but facing away from them with my bare ass on display somehow felt worse.
"We'll repeat the same three positions," said Ashley, "starting with your arms at your sides."
I placed my arms at my sides and Beth quickly snapped the photo.
"Now feet apart and arms at 90 degrees again."
I once again placed my feet on the red marks and raised my arms to my sides. As I parted my legs, I felt like my butt cheeks were separating, exposing even more of my body to them. That probably wasn't the case, but the position just made me feel that way. The strobes flashed once more as Beth took the photo.
"And finally, feet apart and hands behind your head."
I moved into the final position and the lights flashed again.
"Now another quarter turn to your right with your arms at your sides."
Once more the lights flashed.
"Alright, Jim, that's it for the first set of photos," said Beth. As she was talking, she left the camera and walked toward the center of the room. "Stand right here so we can record your measurements."
