I was disappointed that, in a photography forum, my post got zero replies. :(

When I watched it on the news they said the photographer handed the monkey the camera. Many of the news articles since then allude to the monkey "stealing" the camera. Either way, I think it's really amazing that the monkey did that. It boggles the mind.

Probably because we're on the monkey's blog looking over his video post on nailing the perfect primate self-portrait.

Thank you, that is all.

I saw your post but since I didn't know what a Balck crested Macaque was I didn't bother looking.

I guess you need to "dumb down" post titles for people like me :)
