Jeffery's story:

"After my dad made it through what seemed like dozens of layoffs and cuts over his 34 year career at Eastman Kodak, the hammer finally dropped. His generation is just different. They get hired, and they stay forever. When forever ended, I remember him being very unsure of what he would or could do next. I had an old Kodak film canister that I had picked up at a garage sale with no real intentions for it. I decided to turn it into a clock and give it to him for Christmas, kind of a way to honor his commitment to providing for our family and his unwavering loyalty to the big film company. He loved it…and that was the only clock I made until 5+ years later.

In 2020, when the pandemic hit and we were all stuck at home looking for something to do, I decided to make a few more clocks. 2 years later, lots of paint, AA batteries, and clock mechanisms, over 1,200 clocks have been made. As a person who deals with Multiple Sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that has at times stolen mobility from my hands, making these clocks has helped keep me moving. I’ve met so many incredible people with ties to Rochester and Kodak through these up-cycled clocks. They’ve been a catalyst to connecting me with amazing creatives in Rochester and beyond. If you’ve purchased a clock from me, thank you! Here’s to many more."
