The gym has become a central meeting place for my friends and me over the years. It's a place to exercise and train climbing techniques. It's a home for our adaptive rock climbing program for children with disabilities. The couches are comfortable for sitting, chatting, and sleeping. It even serves as a photography gallery for me. Today, it became the testing grounds for Edison and Greg's new cameras. Luckily, the LCD on Edison's camera was big enough for all of us to "chimp" together.

From www.answers.com...

Chimping is a term used in digital photography (especially when using a digital single-lens reflex camera or DSLR) to describe the habit of checking every photo on the on-camera display (LCD) immediately after capture.

Usage varies depending on context and the person using it, but common uses include:

-when a photographer’s sounds and actions of reviewing frames on-scene appear similar to the actions of an excited monkey. (Oooh! Oooh! Aaah!)
-when a photographer is completely absorbed in the act of admiring a photo or proudly showing it off to others.
-by experienced photographers to describe the actions of "wannabe" photographers.

Having several digital photographers together will result in group chimping either during or after the event they are shooting. This is similar to actual chimpanzee grooming, which is a social activity.

Better than picking lice off of each other, I guess...
