New horizons

I decided to pick up photography again. I found some photos from my old computer and I have to say they were not that bad. And watching them reminded me of all the good emotions I used to go through while being out with my camera. My old proper camera (Canon) is broken and unfortunately it would cost ridiculously too much to repair it so I have to get a new one. All I have right now is a Nikon Coolpix which can produce surprisingly good pictures, but of course it is not enough for more serious work.
As I have birthday coming up soon I will try to get my loved ones to participate in my purchase, how clever is that? I will probably stick with Nikon and take advantage of their free photography course.
It surprises me how few (reliable) photography courses there are in Tallinn. And of course the ones that classify have the most ridiculous schedules, but I try to find smth. that I can attend. Meanwhile there are some online courses and free materials in the net.
Am I crazy or am I crazy? We'll see.
