Did you ever do any assisting for other photographers?

I’ve helped out Bill Frakes and Ted Kirk, both long-time pros in the business. I’ve also had the pleasure of watching Christian Ziegler, Ian Nichols, Paul Nicklen and Tim Laman at work in the field. I learn something from each and every person I watch work, from wildlife shooters to wedding photographers.
