I knew someone would mention that :-)

In his defense, we were setting up the shot at the time - that's not where he was bouncing once we were set.

Thats funny -- I get a lot of guys asking to be my "assistant".  One particularly good friend dubbed himself and I "Cameraman" and "Reflectorboy". 

Over there Reflectorboy!

Yes, Cameraman!

BAM!  ZAP!  CLICK! 

LOL.

I work alone. Can't trust an assistant unless they are female. To many of my friends are perverts. LOL!!!!!!

I gotta ask my assistants what it's like to work for me, but I think the mood is quite different... I get a little sullen and introverted when I'm being creative...guess it's thinking with another part of my brain.
