... chair and started to zoom his lens in close on the back of her shirt. He found the nape of her neck exposed as she rested her forehead on the top of the chair back. Click. Moving his camera down, the tail of the shirt that covered her ass, and her outer thighs could be seen. He pulled back his zoom and took another photo of her in the chair. He traced his camera lens down her calf to her foot resting comfortably on the faded rug. Zooming in closer, then another c lick was heard.
