I have always been an ardent photographer. When in university I sort of came into my own, spending more time taking photographs of fellow students than really studying. But whatever.
I learned to blend in so no one really noticed me and I made thousands of photos in those years. To sort of cement my presence I would often make prints of friends or their friends/gf and hand them out.
Once I made some nice photos of a friends girlfriend. Normal photos mind you, of student life and such. Anyway I went to his room and knocked, having the photos in hand. He said to come on in and to my surprise my friend was in bed, post-coitus naked I could immediately tell and in bed with another girl than the one I had photos of. Apparently a new girlfriend.
I was inside and besides being a bit taken back at the intimate scene, I had the photos (large sized prints) in my hand. My friend asked what i wanted and what i was holding and not knowing what to do (I should have left but that would have been awkward too) I sheepishly handed him the photos of his (previous) girlfriend. He sort of smiled and handed them to his new paramour, who looked them over. Both appreciated the photos I guess, complimented me and we made some (very) small talk until I quickly left.
To say that I felt silly and socially inept would be an understatement.
And thinking back on the event, I am now very sorry I didn't take photos of my friend and gf when they were in bed. From their demeanor I bet they would have said yes.
