There is nothing mysterious about photography you couldn't learn yourself. Ones you understand the relationship of aperture and shooter speed (exposure) you are done.
All you need to do is practice. Pay attention to detail. Think about composition. Be creative. And never forget about light. Remember: light is the heart of photography.
More you experiment better photographer you became.
Quick tip: try to capture the same composition with different amount of light by changing the exposure and see which shot comes out with better result. This way you will quicker understand what is going on and learn what exposure setting you need for particular light conditions. That way it is no need to use a meter.
My advice: Shoot digital!!! It is handy as you can see an instant result of your work and won't waste your time and money on film processing.
