A few days ago, I learned about Nonja, the furry fave photographer of the world. Nonja is an Orangutan in an Austrian Zoo. She has been well trained in photography and now she has expanded this art beyond human beings.
Her rigorous training included the following:
1. She is armed with a camera that is modified to readily upload her photos to Facebook.
2. She is awarded raisins every time she clicks.
Now, who else wouldn't shoot for raisins? Well, all of us need some kind of motivation. For some, it is the pain of lost love, for others, it's raisins.
Nonja's photographs are recorded on her Facebook page here:

Now you truly hate the fact that they banned Facebook at work, don't you? I made myself one of the over 64,000 fans. Trust me, I am not a fan of most things, but hey, we are all looking for that creative "twist" a photographer brings, right?
Well, I do believe Nonja does.
Now you may say, well look, they are just pictures a monkey made. But you could say the same of....alright, I have enough enemies already :)
I am looking forward to more such wonderful experiments in photography. I just hope Nonja doesn't gain too much weight on those raisins
