My Grandfather was one of the founder members of the Preston Photographic Society
he exhibited his photos and won awards i have a 1952 mag somewhere of his winning photos that got published they are a far cry from this digital age we are in now they where taken on glass negatives .

I enrolled on a photography course at blackburn and also joined a camera club,now the camera club i find very useful and some of the members bend over backwards to help you.
I took up photography purely because i wanted to do dog photography.
good luck im sure if you pursue it you will love it

thanks for the tip am signing up now

Re: new career (maybe)

I deffinatley wouldn't be put off studying the subject. Blackburn offers a range of photography courses for all ages and abilities. I'm just finishing my BA there, which makes this my fifth year studying photography at Blackburn :)

I just traveled to NYC to shoot my final project for it -- New York City 2009 - a set on Flickr a taster of the final work is up there :P

if your into street photography I'd recommend getting out of accy and wandering the streets of some larger cities with your camera... be brave and vigilant and don't let peoples reactions put you off! as I told someone in NYC "If you don't want photographing don't come out in public" sounds a bit harsh but it's the truth...

A good way to learn is to get yourself on flickr or deviant art, they are great community websites and you get a lot of constructive criticism on your work.
