Only true
"Photography Nuts"
can join A.C.O.R.N.
The A.C.O.R.N. Camera Club was started to teach Squirrels the art of PHOTOGRAPHY !
free time he would take his camera and hike the trails along the Rocky River within the Cleveland Metro Parks. One day he stopped at a picnic table to have a snack and read a photography magazine he carried with him. As he sat reading he didn't notice the squirrel hop up on the table until it was standing next to his camera. Scott watched as the squirrel studied the camera in a the same way he did when he picked it up from the camera shop. When the squirrel looked through the viewfinder, Scott knew this was no ordinary rodent. "Well what do you know, we got ourselves a real life squirrel photographer." Scott said. "I think I have something you might really like!" So Scott ran back to his car and grabbed something out of the trunk. Seeing Scott place an old film camera on the table the squirrel seemed to smile. Scott told the squirrel to shoot 12 pictures and return it to the same table the next day. The next day the squirrel returned the camera to Scott who had the pictures developed. |

Over the next few weeks Scott and the Squirrel hiked |
around shooting everything they could. They even took pictures of each other with their cameras. Scott named his new friend Pops becaue the squirrel had a baby who liked to tag along as they went picture taking. Scott would critique the squirrels photographs and point out all the really good things about the prints. Soon Pops was taking better photos than Scott ever could with that old Argus camera. It was then that Scott told Pops he should teach other squirrels how to use a camera. With Scott's help and his old camera collection, the two of them started teaching other squirrels, and some other animals too, how to take pictures. Soon they formed the A.C.O.R.N. Club and it grew into the worlds largest Rodent Photography Origination. Today there are 1000's of members (mostly Eastern Fox Squirrels) around the world, shooting with every type of camera you can think of. Oh, By the way many of the A.C.O.R.N. members like to sneak up and photograph humans as they pass by. So next time you go walking around the park, watch out you may be the next subject in some squirrels portfolio. |
