As the story goes, Eisie was waiting at the elevator on 28 with a bunch of other photogs. The doors opened and they all crowded in, the diminutive Eisie found himself in close quarters, surrounded by younger, taller photographers. "He looked around. ?I used to be just as tall as all of you,? he said in his German accent. He made a couple dramatic shrugs of his shoulders, the kind of motion you would make if you were carrying something heavy. ?The equipment, the equipment,? was all he said." http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/2009/07/27/a-morning-with-eisie-and-carl?/
