Tacoma (Pierce County), WA Digital Photography Classes?

<p>Hello, fellow shutterbugs.<br>

I am here in Tacoma, about 40 miles south of Seattle most likely through mid August and was wonder if anyone reading this would happen to know where (Community College, perhaps) I might attend a class where I might gain some knowledge to take back home to my little town in southern Arizona (100 miles from Phoenix).<br>

I hope to learn some hands on knowledge of scanning, editing and printing from 4X5 color transparencies. At this time I do not yet want to use a 35mm or medium format digital camera, but still create images using large format FujiChrome film. I have a pretty good handle on exposure of this film and envision making overlapping exposures, scanned in an Epson 750V scanner and stitched, for some highly detailed prints on a large format Epson printer I hope to purchase. I don't yet have the Epson 750V, either. I just want to go somewhere to get some hands on knowledge.<br>

Can anyone recommend a good class coming up this spring?<br>

Thanks for your help.<br>

<p>You might inquire here <a href="http://www.tacomaartplace.org/">http://www.tacomaartplace.org/</a> As far as I know they don't have any large format stuff but they might know where to send you.</p>

<p>There's aslo checking out <a href="http://www.glazerscamera.com/">Glazerscamera</a> to see if they have a class to suit your needs.</p>

<p>I'd fire off an email to the PPW to see if they have anyone as a member who may be able to assist you. They also have classes coming up through the Evergreen School of Professional Photography. <br>
