I WON a gift certificate to take this course for FREE in the Spring of 1999. My interest lies mainly in photography and not video or sound, which was later eliminated from the course content. I had high expectations of this course because the Emily Carr Institute is highly respected. Unfortunately I found this course quite boring and not very technical. They called it a photography course even though we never used a real camera. We did some photograms which is basically exposing objects on raw photosensitive paper (e.g. the background of this web page you are reading now is a photogram I created). We also learned pinhole photography, which was developed a few hundred years ago when cameras did not exist!!
