Ernie: A Photographer's Memoir


 

 

In the summer, we would open the loft's windows and all sorts of bugs would fly in. Every time a dragonfly came in, Ernie would chase it. To take this picture, I set the camera focus distance to three feet, set the flash on automatic, and ran at full speed next to Ernie while he chased the dragonfly. The flash stops the action perfectly.
