MONKEY BUSINESS
GETTING behind the camera, this monkey practices his photography skills on his friends. Clearly bored of always being the subject for photographs, he steps up to the plate and tries out life on the other side of the lens. These funny photographs were captured by Israeli photographer Jacki Soikis, 49, after he caught this little squirrel monkey trying his hand at photography at a monkey park in north Israel. 'I really wanted to see if the monkeys could pick up on how to use a camera,' said Jacki.'So for several hours I showed the monkeys how I use the camera, and tried to just generally make them really curious about it.
