Just buy a camera then... Practice, practice, practice. Shoot everything. Try everything. Keep a photoblog. Publish photos daily. Join a club. Do a SoFoBoMo (look it up). Be critical. Aim for better shots. Plan ahead. Shot subjects that take you out of your comfort zone. All these things will do more for you than any camera body or lens, and are basically free.
Do NOT fall into the trap of thinking that photography is about the equipment.
I like to think I can hold my own, even with a basic Sony DSLR and a few mid-range lenses:
