Meet the Camera Guy: Clyde Hoover

Got photography questions? We’ve got answers (and photography equipment)!

Meet the Camera Guy, Clyde Hoover, at ACR and get all of your photography questions answered! Clyde spent over 40 years working in IT and, now retired, is a Core Volunteer at ACR. A self-described “computer geek,” he focuses his time and expertise on testing and fixing the myriad pieces of tech that get donated to ACR, from fancy cameras to vacuum cleaners to light bulbs.

At this event, Clyde will have an array of photography equipment, primarily studio lighting equipment and dark room equipment, for sale. He’ll be able to tell you what a particular piece of camera equipment is and how to use it. Everything will be available at typically-low ACR prices, with the added bonus of expert advice!

In addition to helping tech find new homes at ACR, Clyde is also an artist who creates art objects from discarded electronics and appliances. Check out his website for more info and to see some of his work.

This event is free and open to the public. Simply drop in at any point between 12-3PM on November 9 to chat with Clyde in our Community Space.

Stop by during the event to learn more about how to keep your tech ticking along and prevent e-waste from polluting our shared environment!

In addition to helping tech find new homes at ACR, Clyde is also an artist who creates art objects from discarded electronics and appliances. Check out his website for more info and to see some of his work. Some of his pieces will be on view during the event.

Community Volunteering: Quilting Fabric

Our Community Volunteer days are a time for anyone who would like to lend a hand come in and volunteer. Quilting Fabric is sorting through boxes of quilting fabric by size and pattern. Bonus, you’ll get first dibs on the goods before they hit the floor!

This activity is best for ages 15 & up.

Community Volunteering takes place inside Volunteer Land, located in the back of the center across from the restroom. Look for the large green wall! You can sign up for a spot here.
