If you belive that the world itself is only and endless sucession of repetitions, then yes it is. However, if you believe that the world evolves, for good or bad, and constantly presents us with new things, then no. I believe the latter, and some form of documentary photography therefore presents the ultimate challenge in depicting my understanding of that world. That's the only point I can see in photography - to attempt to show the world, now, at this moment, as it appears to me.

well, when the same monkeys consistently write the same Shakespeare works faster than all the other monkeys, the infinite monkey theorem almost seems irrelevant, doesn't it? Dem monkeys seem a bit SMRTer to me. |

Are you asking whether if you gave 1000 monkeys 1000 digital cameras and turned them loose at Yosemite for an infinite length of time, would they come up with "Monolith — Half Dome", the answer is "probably not" but who the hell knows?
On the other hand, as they say, "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then." I've never understood that one, since the sense of smell should work fine for acorn-finding, but what do I know?
The truth is any of us can come up with the odd image that's just simply stunning. And I don't include strikeslip's hemmorhoidal monkey in that category, jejejeâ„¢

Even though that's monkey butt Marlin Perkins (and mesmeraj) would be proud of?
Slippy captured indeed the essence, although not the putrescence, of monkey butt. |
