Hi all,
Just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that Coursera is offering a free online course about photography, taught by Sarah Meister from the Museum of Modern Art. The course lasts 6 weeks. You can even pay $50 at the end if you want to get a certificate, though I can't say it would be that useful to the average photographer. I believe you need to register for the website first in order to see the course content. https://www.coursera.org/learn/photography
Here's the course description: "Although taking, sharing, and viewing photographs has become second nature for many of us, our regular engagement with images does not necessarily make us visually literate. This course aims to address the gap between seeing and truly understanding photographs by introducing a diversity of ideas, approaches, and technologies that inform their making. In this course you will look closely at photographs from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art and hear a variety of perspectives on what a photograph is and the ways that photography has been used throughout its nearly 180 year history: as a means of artistic expression, as a tool for science and exploration; as an instrument of documentation; to tell stories and record histories; and as a mode of communication and critique in our ever increasingly visual culture."
