Help outputting metadata

Hi. I recently installed exiftools, and feh, on a Pi as I make a photo frame. I want to display a little data with each image, so I tried this line:

Code Select Expand

allan@raspberrypi:~/Documents $ exiftool -p "info: $Make $Model $Lens $Aperture $ShutterSpeed $FocalLengthIn35mmFormat $DigitalCreationDate" /mnt/photos/2022/2022-01\ Baxter/DSC00184.jpg
info:

as you can see, none of the fields printed out. The data is there...

Code Select Expand

allan@raspberrypi:~/Documents $ exiftool -Make -Model -Lens -Aperture -ShutterSpeed -FocalLengthIn35mmFormat -DigitalCreationDate /mnt/photos/2022/2022-01\ Baxter/DSC00184.jpg
Make                            : SONY
Camera Model Name               : ILCE-7M4
Lens                            : E 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 A071
Aperture                        : 6.3
Shutter Speed                   : 1/100
Focal Length In 35mm Format     : 83 mm
Digital Creation Date           : 2022:01:08

I imagine I'm just missing something basic here. Any ideas?
