The canvas that you have painted would shame Davinci! An absolutely tantalizing and heart stopping story of intimacy, passion, and ultimate love. I hope to god something even remotely profound as this ever happens to me, and I can't help but hope even more that this has happened to you. The amount of happiness that I would feel to know that some other human being experienced this would be so great, that I could only be happier if I experienced this myself. If this was fiction then you have a sick gift my friend, and if it was real, then I take my hat off to you and give you a standing ovation because you have given me something to aspire to and confirmed the beauty that is inherent to the human condition. God, I'm going to be fantasizing about this for a while. And there is no need to post a snapshot; I doubt it will live up to the canvas that you have painted in our minds. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I wanted to read something to pass the time ... i ended up with a tear in my eye. As a photographer myself, i am stunned by the photos you took without ever looking at them. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
This story brings back all the awkwardness and turmoil of adolescence. Well paced and a cracking telling of the story.
I read your story , and it reminded me of my childhood crush , could you send me that pic of cynthia? as i lived your story again and again in my mid for weeks , i am curious . please email it to me if you can plastimont@gmail.com
Thanks
I love every detail! Truly one of my favorites. Can I see it please? IholdMM@hotmail.com
I really liked this read. As a photographer I could appreciate posing the subject, getting the light, having the special shot to myself ( w permission!). As an author, I enjoyed the structure of the story as well as the content. Rare mistakes. Lovely description of the couple and of the surroundings. Thanks for the share!
Extremely well written. I could almost smell Cynthia because of your descriptions. This is a fantasy that lives in many of us guys and you are the lucky one who got to live it for real. I'd love to see the pic. drawu1@bvunet.net Thanks.
I've never read an erotic story that was anything like "Snap Shot," I couldn't stop reading, and was completely engrossed in the story. What a soft, romantic, emotional story. Very well written. I could see every detail, smell her, feel the emotions in him as well as in her. The story was incredible. I can't wait to read more from you. Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful memory. I even let a tear find its way down my flushed cheek at the end. I do hope that Cynthia Marshall will one day read this and remember what it was like for her. You are truely talented.
Truly amazing piece of work, the details form so clearly with yourr retelling but I would love to see Cynthia in all her glory...midasschmoo@hotmail.com
That was... incredible. truly amazing.
I would love to see what you saw. Thanks.

This is so beautifully written. Would love to catch a glimpse of such a perfect moment in time. ShPecking@gmail.com
Like the title says. Definitely enjoy moments like this that are real or at least believable. If the photo actually exists, send it to camirish1@netzero.net
this was amazing and...it left me shaking...I would love to see the beauty you so admired. riahmccain@yahoo.com
One of the most well written I've seen on this site.
Would love to see that pic -
lja231@hotmail.com
such a well written story. Would love to see cythia. baypair26@yahoo.com
Loved the story and would love to see the print. magicfurnell@hotmail.co.uk
I loved the innocence of the story and how it all
Played together. If you wouldnt mind i would love to see the print that inspiried it all. Dragon22206@bellsouth.net
I'm love with this girl who sends me her pics too! I can soo understand your feelings when you must be looking at that pic of Cynthia. I'd love to see it, I'm asking..
Please send it to me on njgprinceofdarkness@gmail.com
I cannot ask for the snapshot as it is only two dimensional and would mean nothing to me. To you, it is 3D: it includes the smells of her bedroom and the sounds from outside and the sun flowing in and, the best of all, the warmth in her eyes.
You have brought us to a moment in time that we can all be a part of, so many years ago. I thank you for the journey and I pray you will share with us again. Thank you.
Calling this story 'near perfect' just wouldn't be enough. I congratulate you. I would also love to see the snap shot, if you are willing to show me.

This story is amazing. I would love to see the picture if you are still sharing. In my mind, she looks like Ali Larter for some reason. Simply beautiful.
Jnav813@gmail.com
Wow. I really like this one. Please send me some picture if you still have them. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks :)

Great great story. Had a similar story. Did not end so good . She was 32,me 19. Two kids . After a year she called it off. Messed my head up for years. I would do it all over again tomorrow.OHHHHHH THE THINGS SHE TAUGHT ME .Keep up the great writting .And thank you
I am not exactly sure how to put this but -
You have captured this story in perfect written work, almost like the picture of the photograph that you would have taken yourself. The pace and style coupled with the flow complimented the story so well. Pretty much the pure reason why I have made my account here. Certainly it one of the most perfect works of romance like this I have ever see. Thank you for sharing this work with us all.
If you would not mind, may I see this picture of 'Cynthia'?

This story, whether true or not, was one of the best I have ever read. It read more as a love story more than an erotic one, and captured all of the feelings, the nuances, and the background of the day, and the moment in such a way that you were totally drawn into it as if you were standing off to one side and observing it as it happened. I would say that you should try to contact her, if you haven't already, and get copies of those pictures. They sound like a real treasure that are meant to be kept.
Loved the story, the friendship, and the sharing of a special love, that first love - at least on the part of her younger lover! Thanks for the memories of long ago, although different circumstances - those early times live on forever.
Your story is so incredibly sexy. You wrote about your favorite picture so well I could almost envision it. I would sure love to see it.
You prompted me to write the first review of my LIFE!
The way you captured the essence of "a cherished memory" and gave it a sense of exitement was ... priceless..
PS - love the last 3 sentences. Potrays the story perfectly.
it was amazing the way you narratad your memory.... loved it :)
It's hard to imagine how a story can be so intensely sexual. Yes, anyone can write a story that causes a stir in the reader's pants, but it takes something as real and raw as this to cause a stir in the reader's entire body. I am in love with Cynth as much as you were on that fateful day. If your offer still stands (and if it's serious) I was wondering if I could have a look at her.
I never leave feedback for anyone. But your story is absolutely wonderful. So erotic and passionate. Very well done!!!
I've never commented before, but wanted to say that I think you are a gifted writer. You conjured such a warm, tangible, vivid portrait of a time and place and person. What a talent! Keep writing, please!
This story was sexy & beautiful & extremely erotic. One of my new favs.
This story is amazing. I can really feel the characters.
I don't usually get really into voyeur stories but this story really got to me. It's beautifully written, not too long or too short and I can really feel all the emotions in it, the passion and the excitement. Thank you for writing such a jewel and sharing it here.
I agree so much with the preceding comments, about how this website contains stories that pale in comparison to this.
It is tender, insightful and intimately hot; a wonderful expression of love and respect; rich in detail and pictographic in your word choice.
You took it at the perfect speed every detail seems to be so well planned.
The characters were alive and real. Your grammar is impeccable and the phrasing simply glides. Your picturesque vocabulary made the story a joy to read.
I would love to see the picture, but I feel as if I have already seen it through your words.
The vivid imagery you created in my mind was amazing!
I am starting to ramble on and on unnecessarily as I am just repeating praises that have been posted previously.
I do look forward to your continued writing. I know you have other stories that are as splendid as this one.
Just in case you are still sharing “The Picture” cooldoc72@gmail.com
Totally fantastic story, loved it. One of my favorites for sure. I would love to see the picture landon.brown6@gmail.com
This is a wonderful, sweet, and very erotic story. Thank you for writing and shareing.
It was really awesome...you really are an excellent writer and the matter was so arousing...
Please send me cynthia's picture that's with you.my mail id is :rohithmurali28@gmail.com
Wonderful story, beautifully told- however. If it is true, you had better not actually be sending people copies of that photo- at least not without 'Cynthia's' permission. If she's given you the green light, then, by all means, send away, but to do so without her permission is a) illegal, and b) a completely scummy thing to do.
Could feel how you felt at the time. I agree it is more like a love story. If you would not mind, may I see this picture of 'Cynthia'? al_longenberger@yahoo.com
i have never read a more perfect story, it is one worth reading over and over again. The slow buildup, the passion and sensuality. The word perfect does nothing to describe how amazing this story is
A really wonderful erotic story. So sensual and with the slow build up the sense of the passion being built is overwhelming. One of the best stories I've read here on Literotica. At times I was there, with you, experiencing all you enjoyed on that afternoon.
Thanks for sharing such a special moment.
I just loved this. It was the best story I've read.
Also, can I get a pic, jack_dolly@yahoo.com
Oh man, what a turn on story. You sure can milk a scene for maximum erotic effect!
Very good nice story & very sexy I got horny reading it . sailornz@gmail.com
Its amazing when you can find that one inate object that brings back such powerful childhood or teen memories. The fact that you have a photo of that moment of the thoughts in her head and the feelings rushing over you is truly special and makes you very lucky. If you are sending out that pic then i would be honored to see it. Its not very often when a photographer can say this is the day the moment and the person who helped mold my style. jamesesaker80@yahoo.com
Very sexy and well written. I could visualise it all, from the hot suburb gardens down to the final shot. Would love to see that photo if it is still available!
ronald_athome@yahoo.com
Most beautifully written story! I would love to see a picture of "Cynthia" laurae.obrien@yahoo.com
What a great story. I am a very amateur photographer, and the way you described everything makes it almost seem as if i took those pictures myself. I would love to see the last photo, if its still available. Iplayeadg4@yahoo.com
Great writing, I was taking pictures back in the mid 60s also, brought back all of the stuff you had to do to get a good exposure. Not like the DSLRs now. Thanks for a wonderful story, and some good memories. Keep writing, please!
wanna see that pic !! Hot, but artsy enough. celestinalovexoxo.hotmail.com
Great story! This would be fantastic as an Illustrated story. Keep up the great work
Your story was great! please send the pic
questionmark2.6@hotmail.com
I loved the story and would really like to see the picture. jayhensleyjr@hotmail.com
I found you story absolutely moving. It gives a realistic view on the harshness of life.
I would love to see the picture. Please send it to:
alina_cossack@hotmail.com
Read through your story twice now and loved it both times! I'd also be interested in seeing the photo alltherage___@hotmail.com
Loved the story, my boyfriend and I read through it together. We'd love to see the picture! lily.sienkiewicz@gmail.com
This story is absolutely beautiful. You have talent not only as a photographer, according to you of course, but as a writer as well. Too many stories on this site are simply about sex. You have managed to create a piece about love, deep seated emotion, and most of all passion. Bravo. I do not want to see the picture simply because I think giving Cynthia a face in my mind would detract from the absolute beauty of the story. Thank you.
It was a very detailed and sensual story, and I loved it very much. Do you think I could see the photo? theinsomnic@yahoo.com
Your words bring back memories of another very beautiful, loving WOMAN.
Thank you
This story was amazing, it was so much more than a sex story. Will you plesase sendme the photo? Please send the photo to zekecreed@gmail.com
If you are a quarter the photographer as you are a Master Author...
You sir are a Master Word Smith!
This story touched me. I'm going to look for additional works from this author.
A wonderful story, steamy and beautiful. It paints a vivid picture that has changed my perception!! I need to find more stories by this amazing author.
By the title, I was prepared for disappointment. I was expecting just another half-empty glossy photo story that had sex, but not real heart. How wrong I was!
I can't stop myself from looking at the craft of the writer; from judging the tightness of the detail, the turn-of-phrase, the consistency of the characters, the development of the plot. The stories that I enjoy most are those that pull me out of the "critique" mode and into the story itself. I have no right to critique anyone, but with this story it was not an issue. I became thoroughly invested in the tale almost from the beginning - breathing with the characters, feeling, sighing, rising and falling with the heat of each moment.
Well Done my friend, and Thank You!.
What a lovely story so filled with emotion and so descriptive you could have been there!
great work
I almost didn't leave a comment after realising that I would be number 280! But this was a beautifully written and erotic story; and the little twinge of sadness at the end made it all the more real.
Bravo!
This was one of the best heart felt stories I have read in along time i could feeel your passion in it and the feeling of joy if it could only be so true and yes I wished he would have went to find her just to feast his eyes on the love of your life, if only in your heart thank you.
Just saw people were giving there email, made me wonder if he would share such a special private moment. Wonderfully written by the way.
I love this. Funny how one event in one's life can make such a distinct impression that lasts immeasurably. Grateful for your recall.
This doesn't even require being or truth, indeed it affirms there is truth in beauty and beauty in truth.
This does not demand the reality of an author or a photographer or a beautiful young woman - for one story-moment, they existed, in unique creations framed by time, feelings, colors, warmth,and exquisite sensitivities that can only be realized by each reader's imagination. If one million people read this, someone created one million pieces of beauty,each felt and seen in its own, personal way.
One of the best things I've read in the last 10 years - it is THE best for explaining with its excellence that we needn't seek our privacies, reliefs from work or cares, easing of life stress in mindless television, trivial texting, friendless friending, numbing noise and clutter - we need but realize that, in the quiet doings that are reading and writing, we will find other "Snap Shots" that stimulate the private, carefree raptures of our imaginations.
I hope you are photographer Jim, I hope this isn't your only writing, I hope Cynthia was beautiful and flawless and your lives perfect. For one set of moments, your writing has made me believe all those hopes are possible.. Thank you.
Beautiful story, my friend. Somemsay fiction...honestly, i couldnt care either way what the truth is. It just has a feeling of being real. And hell, if you actually do have the shot, i would love to see the inspiration for one hell of an afternoon.
It truly takes and artist to describe the images you have shown. Only a true photographer could see this the way you have and I enjoyed reveling in the visions you showed with your words. Soft and subtle and nowhere nearly as graphic as some writers, but then this didn't need to have any more. Very sweat, and I truly hope she finds this story and remembers the event as fondly as you. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful moment.
Amazing! The classic girl-next door story writ large–and long, and with 128 nuanced shades of gray. Exquisite detail. Realistic dialog. Although we know the outcome from the first sentence, you make the journey a thing of joy and beauty And, I suspect for those like myself who worked with cameras and models in a distant misspent youth, "Snap Shot" brings back a flood of forgotten erotic memories. Thank you!
You are an artist, both in literature and if I ever see this picture, I am sure in photo also. Very well written, smooth and beautiful. Its art and erotica. You are an inspiration.
Excellent story, beautifully written
Brought back memories of our first photographic session in 1986 and we are still together 26 years later
We would LOVE to see Cynthia's photo, please send to jennyphil@aol.com
Thanks
Jenny & Phil
A very good story a decent background but u should have introduced more passion in early stage from the girl that would have been wonderful
If your photos are equal to the quality of your writing, you must br an excetional photographer.
Would love to see the one of Cynthia.
