Line 10: == Origin of the term == The term 'chimping' was first written about by Robert Deutsch, a [[USA Today]] staff photographer, in September 1999 when writing a story for the SportsShooter email newsletter. He did not invent the term but heard it passed down by word of mouth.<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://www.sportsshooter.com/news/212 \| title=Open & Shut Case \| date=September 27, 1999 \| first=Robert \| last=Deutsch \| publisher=Sports Shooter \| accessdate=February 28, 2008}}</ref> The phrase is most likely derived from a comparison between the sounds and actions made whilst reviewing images and those of an excited primate (such as a [[chimpanzee]]), e.g. "''Oooh! Oooh! Aaah!''"; or when a photographer is absorbed in the act of analyzing, admiring, or displaying a photograph. == Views on chimping ==
