Ernst?

Yep, it's yet another demonstration of digital dyslexia.

And it's getting worse by the day. I no longer know if it's brain, or eyesight or simply fingers with a mind of their own...

Ernst?
I think Rob is trying to claim that he is "Ernsier than thou." 8)

That was just my petty revenge for the Saine typo ;) ;D

But in all seriousness, Ernst Haas has been my idol ever since I bought his book The Creation. That was the time and place (socialistic Belgrade) when getting such book was an accomplishment. His ability to depart from reality while still retaining the inherent photographic veracity was stunning.

That is a very appropriate description of his work.
