->> Bert,
Easy for me to do today -- no assignments, it's all desk work!
I'll make sure I don't shoot with my P&S either because that is automatic chimping. |

->> But what about these classic chimping lines?
"I chimp, therefore I am."
"Alas, what light through yonder LCD breaks? It is my image, and it is awesome (or the alternate versions, "It is out of focus" or "It is of the ref's arse" followed by "@#$%^&!"
"Frankly my dear, I don't chimp worth a damn."
"Let's go out there and shoot one for the Chimper."
"Et tu, Chimpe?"
"I could have been a photographer. I could have been somebody, instead I'm just a chimper, which is what I am, let's face it."
"Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty chimper." |

->> At least this time you didn't pick the World Cup final.
I suggest picking a date in late October or early February instead. If it happens during the World Series or SuperBowl, all the more fun. |

->> June 9 is the date ...
4th of July isn't moved.
Labor Day isn't moved.
Thanksgiving isn't moved.
Nope ... June 9 is the date.

| ->> Personally, I like June 9th. I don't know why you think I don't like it. It's nothing like that snooty June 7th. |

->> I'm pulling out the chain saw to celebrate.
Two huge storms swept through yesterday evening making lots of firewood for next winter.
Who has time to chimp anyway, there's the next picture to make! |

| ->> I made it the whole day without chimping, but I accidentally pulled the plastic cover off the LCD on my MkII when I was removing the gaffers tape from the screen at the end of the day. It looks like it was just attached with double sided tape, so it shouldn't be too hard to reattach. I'm trying to figure out if the incident was the camera's way of trying to teach me a lesson... |

Columbus | OH | United States | Posted: 3:14 PM on 06.13.08 |
->> Let us know how that works out for you, Adam. My bodies have dust on the inside of the cover, and it would actually be great to take it off to clean them if it can be reattached easily.
I also made it through the day chimp-free, but it was not easy! :-) |

|
Doug Holleman, Photographer

Temple | TX | USA | Posted: 11:18 PM on 06.09.09 |
| ->> I have to say I'm not feeling the No Chimping spirit out there this year. Sales of my No Chimping t-shirts are down more than GM stock. I guess it's the economy. |
