Ernest Hemingway, 1952
 
 RealAudio: Eisie talks about his
most difficult assignment.
 
"My most difficult subject was Ernest Hemingway. He was very excitable, but in the end we got on fine. It all started when I took some pictures of him in the harbor of Cojima near his home in Cuba. He went almost berzerk because, while I was photographing, he overheard a little boy ask his father, 'Who is that actor?'"
