I Want To Be Your Assistant

David LaChapelle was down under in Melbourne shooting for a Nokia promotion so I thought I'd jump on the opportunity to try and grab his attention. I did this by pasting a 43 foot banner on a bridge right next to the shoot the night before. Here's a peek into how it all unfolded.

Seriously, that was an epic idea ! When I first started assisting back around '99, I had a makeup artist painted up a bruises on my face and had my photo taken in the police line-up style. My pager was listed -remember when assistants used to carry pagers ? - as well as my name and email. I remember years later I walked into a photographer's office and saw my little 4x6 promo card hanging there. lol.
