[{"order": 1, "question": "What makes ACE Camera Club different from other Albany photography groups?", "answer": "Since 2020, ACE Camera Club (Inc) has focused on inclusive, skills-based photography in Albany, WA.

Accessibility and inclusion are core to how we teach. Our Albany studio and darkroom are wheelchair-accessible, sessions are paced to suit the group, and carers/support workers are welcome.

Most sessions are held at The Annex, 85 Vancouver Street, Albany WA 6330, with on‑location shoots around town.\n\nNext steps:\n- Check the latest schedule and availability.\n- Request a studio tour or book a one‑off trial session to see if it’s the right fit."}, {"order": 5, "question": "How much does it cost and what’s included?", "answer": "Fees vary by program (workshops, studio/darkroom sessions, or mentoring).
