Photography classes

I will be taking some photography classes through Inkleys. It is great for beginners cause it shows you how to use all the different things on your camera. I have talked to some of you about this and I said I would let you know when they are and the price. The Sandy location (9400 S. 700 E) has them on Wednesday nights 6-8 or Saturday mornings 10-12. You can buy a 6 class pass for $90 or an individual class is $15. I have a few extra free passes if anyone is interested. I plan to take the classes on Wednesdays.
