Monkeyshines, No. 1 (1889)



Just a test, to see what it can do.

Camera’s ready. You ready?

I don’t know. Make a—
fist? No.
Make like you’re praying. Palm to palm.
It photographs better.
Now give me thirty seconds.

There.


Like you? No, it doesn’t, unless you’re a white blob. But it moves like a person, and that’s what we needed to—
No, I don’t know what it’ll amount to. You tell me.
No, I run the equipment. You’re the one with the imagination. You’re the artist.

But we aren’t the same.
But if we were?
Then, what would I see, in this?
