Photos and story by

For people who have been in photography for a while and want desire to take their skills to the next level, Portland Community College has the right class for them.

This winter, the Community Education program is offering a three-week course intended to get creative juices flowing while working with other amateur photographers. In the non-credit offering, Creative Camera, students get to use their own vision and interpretation to shoot independently on assigned weekly themes. Designed especially for people who are comfortable with their camera and want to collaborate with other photographers, instructor Mike Riches guides students in mastering this art form. The media include slides, digitals, or black and white film.

The class meets from 6:45 to 9:15 p.m., Mondays, March 10 through March 24, Room 104, Central Portland Workforce Training Center, 1626 S.E. Water Ave. Cost is $89. For more information, contact the PCC Community Education office at (503) 788-6265.
