I am intersted in finding a photography club or group to join that meets on a regualr basis to display and talk about photographic technique, etc.

-Give Tymers in Vancouver, WA a call ask for Dave he should be able to point you in the right direction, their number is 360-696-0859 hope this helps.

-There is a phtography swap meet in Gresham, Oregon Saturday (June 20). It's at the Gresham armory which is on Division (Gresham, not Portland). I forget the address but it is just East I think, of the Max rail lines, before Division hits Burnside. Starts at 9am. There should be info there on area camera clubs.

-Portland State University has _some_ decent photography classes in the evenings through the continuing education program, where you will find some of your fellow students who really bring value to the class.

As a bonus, priveledges to use a really sh**y darkroom.
