Delete onload event handler initiated at img tag level?

Show all headers | View raw

Is there a way to reliably remove an onload event that has been initiated 
at the img tag level?

For example, the following would repeat the replacement indefinitely as the 
image is replacing itself with itself:

function replace(){
document.getElementById("photo").src="pic2.jpg";
// delete onload???
}
<img src="pic1.jpg" onload="replace()" id="photo"> 

Is there way to effectively remove the event while having the onload event 
handler in the image tag as above so it only happens once?

Maybe something like:
delete document.getElementById("photo").onload; // ???

Many thanks for any advise.
