Recently I read an article on Sportsshooter.com about assisting other photographers. The author, Jared Dort, documented his recent experience assisting USA Today staff photographer Robert Hanashiro on a two day assignment. Click here to read the article.

Here is a quote of Bert's (Robert Hanashiro) from a converstation he had with Jared.

"The person assisting me is there mainly as an extra pair of hands and more importantly, an extra pair of eyes. I am usually concentrating so much on one thing at a time - aiming a grid or working with the subject - having someone else there on my side (not some publicist) looking at the whole picture can be helpful."
