I was just talking to someone today about this subject- For me, at least, writing and sharing stories about our experiences is exciting for me. I get to relive it all again while writing it. That's the main reason I do it. Knowing that others enjoy reading them by getting comments and "Thanks" makes it truly worthwhile.
While its true that good photos to go along with the story really makes it an outstanding tale (read those by Nudebeachlover and many others here), pics aren't really necessary. There are many great stories here on OCC that contain no photos.
Beezelbozo, if you enjoy writing them, just relate your stories without worrying about the photos for now. Maybe, in time, she'll come around to allowing you to post a pic or two, especially if you pick a couple that cannot possibly identify her as the subject and get them "OK'd by her first.
Since she likes your written stories, if I were you, I'd write a story that I know she'll love, complete the layout with a flattering but unidentifiable photo or two of her and show it to her. Maybe she'll like it enough to let you post it "as is".
