Nonja – Ape Photographer

Nonja, the Orangutan Photographer - Self Portrait

The Viennese Zoo is home to Nonja, an orangutan who was given a camera that dispenses raisins when she takes pictures.

But I’m pretty unimpressed by Nonja’s portfolio on Facebook. The 33-year-old’s work doesn’t really communicate anything about the simian condition except for the obvious “raisins taste good” ideas that have been done to death in recent years. It may be an unfair comparison across mediums, but Cheeta’s output remains far superior (I am the proud owner of a Cheeta original, so forgive my bias).

Don’t feel bad, though, Nonja – Call me when you figure out those opposable thumbs. And stop fucking with the ISO speeds.
