Photography!

Ever since I was a kid, I've really liked photography. It's one of my favorite art forms, and I was always the one who took the most pictures on trips and vacations (when everyone used 1 disposable camera - ha! - I would use 3-4). I still remember how I excited I was to receive my first digital camera freshman year of college, and I shudder to think how many awful, never should have seen the light of day pictures I took in those 4 years.
It wasn't until I went to Ireland, however, that I found myself becoming more interested in photography as an art form. Follow that up with a couple art history classes on photography, a healthy obsession with Ansel Adams, some awesome photography blogs, and my very first DSLR (thanks for passing it on to me, dad!) and I've become more and more interested in photography!
While I've read a lot about using my DSLR, own 4 lenses (these two are my favorites), I've never actually taken a class in photography. My father has and absolutely loved it, and with summer on the horizon, I am thinking it is time to finally sign up for one. I want to improve my technique, and explore photography both as an artform and in a more documentary sense. However, there are so many options out there.
So far, I'm taking a look at the following:

• Rock Your Camera: Photo 101
• Photo 101 & Photo 102 (and lots of other useful things)
• A photography course at Stanford - all of the course materials are online for free!!
• Improve Photography's classes

There are so many options out there! 
Are you interested in photography? Have you taken any classes?
