Sometimes it's easy to forget how large and diverse the photography industry is. I think these shots are kind of genius. They remind me of Larry Sultan's project The Valley.

I'm not sure if I'm eligible, as I'm not really an assistant anymore. I've moved up to real life photographer after a few years of lugging stuff around for my boss. But I found a few shots of me from a couple years ago that made me laugh and thought they'd fit into your contest, so I figured I'd send them along. You have a lot of shots of people on glamorous sets, but maybe it's time to throw something different into the mix. Besides the usual freelance jobs and working on my personal pieces, my day job is at a gay adult film company. I moved up from the assistant position and this year was named the GayVN Still Photographer of the Year (the gay porn Oscar). How's that for climbing the ladder?

Note to self:
When you open Rachel's blog, in a extremely busy coffee shop, make sure the browser window is very small.....
Absolutely brilliant! Great pictures of Geof.
And I too opened the blog in a very busy coffee shop but I got a lot of "Ooh, those are great. What site is that on?"
these are fucking great.
hey--thats you GEOF! why did they call you 'gary'?
these still crack me up years later :]
Thanks for fixing my name, Rachel. You are a fantastic photo stewardess. I get called Greg, Gary, Jeff, and more often than not, Kent (the boss) all the time. I just wanna be me.
Yaaay, Geof is so awesome!
