I also feel like I need to be challenged and learn the "art" of photography (I'm self-taught).
So my options are these (and I could possibly do more than one):
- Take a class.
- Start a web-shop to sell photos and make money to buy equipment.
- Dedicate myself to the equipment I do have and discover what I could do with that.
- Offer to take photos at weddings, christenings, birthday parties and the likes to get more experience.
