Don't quit your day job.

When B shoots a wedding on his own, he needs to have someone assist and be his second shooter.  Sometimes, that second shooter is me.  Well, there was only one time that second shooter was me, but you get my point.  He usually takes our friend Alyson with him who may I say is fantastic.  Not only does she know where to hold the flash and the reflector and such, but she takes great photos.   

Our good friends, the Lodges, wanted some updated photos of them so B took them out for a portrait session on Monday.  Well, I had the day off and they were our friends so I got to go along as the "photo assistant."  And, I think I now know why I usually don't get "hired" for the job.  I have a slight problem focusing on the task at hand.  Yeah, I can hold a flash and reflector and all, but I seem to have the attention span of a rabbit and eventually start wandering off doing my own thing.  It drives B nuts and I don't blame him, a photographer needs good light!  He needs his eyes shaded!  Seriously though, had I been an employee, I'm not so sure I'd still have a job.  Ha!

Well, the day was gorgeous and I had our little digital camera in my pocket so of-course, I was off doing my thing, clicking away.

And this?  Well, this is classic Gayle.  Get out of the car, climb on something and then tell B to take your picture while you almost break your neck jumping on it.  

Despite the shoddy help, he got some really cool, beautiful shots of Geoff and Julia.  Check out the site in the next couple of weeks:  www.bryanhoybook.com.
