Now, if I do this I will be drumbed out of the professional photographer ranks for life...but I still have the desire. I want to take a chimpanzee and teach him how to point and push the button on an auto-focus, auto-exposure camera, with a motor drive. All I would have to do is load the film. Now if you let the chimp shoot a hundred rolls of film (3600 exposures) there are bound to be some good shots in there. Then you do a magazine artical or two on the photos without telling anyone that a chimp shot them. Then you get the chimp a stock agency. Then you get the chimp in a show or two. And then and only then you tell everyohne that a chimp took the pictures. And the funny part about this is that it can...and will be done sooner or later.
