While I agree not to stress too much on the gear, but gear matters and the contribute directly on how the photos will look.
I personally dont like too much "processing" after pictures are taken. I do agree that some processing are needed, but it should come last in mind as in "its ok, I'll just process it at home, or use HDR or whatnots" to make the shot look better.
Glasses MATTERS!! You can always process a sharp pictures to be "unsharp", but not the other way around.
I'd say, invest in lens and a good flashlight! Glasses / light are what matters!
Of course, composition as well..
I am a beginning myself and I have been buying/reading a lot of photography composition books. They help quite a bit!!
I bought most of them on half.com for around $5-10 shipped!! Well worth it.
