Handle bar mustache monkeys squee! I want to give them little monkey monocles and top hats and teach them how to twirl their mustaches. Oh, how I want them to twirl their mustaches…

I was filming the Emperor Tamarins at the San Francisco Zoo with my iPod touch 4th gen, when all of a sudden, they were everywhere.

This picture is ABSURD because squirrels could not possibly know anything about shutter-speeds, exposure timing or depth of field!

But in the squirrels defense, neither do most people who call themselves “photographers”.

They are like little well dressed tourists, just walking around and checking out the scenes, completely unaware of their surroundings… “doop de doo… this place looks ooookkaaaayyyy…” *CRASH*

“Toss you hair back… that’s it… smouldering! Make love to the lens! Looking hot… Fantastic! Arch your back a little – perfect! Now fling your poo!”

It’s so tough to find good helping hands these days, take this female photographer for example, she thought she had hit the jackpot with these cuddly little camera assistants…

…only for them to gang up on her and run off with her expensive camera equipment.

Moral of the story: don’t trust all that which is cute
