When I arrived in Oregon a year ago, one of the first things I did was look for community/hobby/activity (or whatever you want to call it) groups formed around interests that I have. And I did find quite a few of them. The only problem is, they're all for seniors! Not that this is a problem per se; When I lived in Shreveport, I regularly attended a Photo SIG group that consisted entirely of older people. I loved every moment of it, and got along great with everybody. I picked up a lot of photographic experience and wisdom there.

That being said, it is nice to be able to find a group of people in my own age range to relate to and discuss my interests with. That, and even if I were to start attending some of the local groups, I would actually have to pay a fee for not being old enough!

I've looked and looked around, and even searched Google, but I can't find anything. So I am turning to you, my good friends at City-Data. Does anyone know of any good computer/photography/technical groups for people in the 20-30 year (give or take) age range that gather in or around the general Portland area? Because it is getting awfully lonely never being able to share my photography, or expound on the greatness of my nVIDIA GTX 295... or even just have someone who knows and understands what the hell I am talking about, and actually cares...

Have you checked Do something, Learn something, Share something, Change something - Meetup.com ?

I am a member and have met a lot of really nice people through these groups.
