Ernie: A Photographer's Memoir

This is the text that appears opposite this picture in the book:

The new guy is getting on my nerves. he talks to me in this God-awful high voice humans use on babies and pets. All day long it's:

"Over here, Ernito. You look splendid today. come on, Erniti. Ernititi. Give me a smile. Beautiful. Hold it! Now let's try something different, something more animal. A little more claw, a little more fang. Beautiful!"

Brother.
