Meet Jeff.

Jeff's a good friend of a good friend of mine. He's also a fellow photographer and a kick-ass photo assistant. We worked together for the first time on the Jackson Fans series. I had no idea what to expect.

The hardest workers are always the quietest. And unlike me, Jeff is a man of few words. But he busts ass and his brain works really fast. I found myself, on a few occasions during the Jackson shots, thinking about where I wanted him to light something only to find him already there—waiting on me. The only thing that slows this guy down are old AA batteries and a pile of cole slaw at The Original Pantry Cafe on Figueroa St.

I look forward to working with him in the future. With fresh AA batteries.
