I want to get paid to drive around and take pictures of old Victorian houses.
I guess I need a decent landscape/architecture photograpy course or two first.
Barring any other kind of degree, I guess I have to to this myself and just compile a book? Hope it sells?
Wish I could come up with some way to make a living like that; or maybe part-time.

1. Why not?
You could make a coffee table kind of book.

I love looking at houses and down here where I live, well, books about houses sell like hotcakes.

2. You probably need a gimmick to sell:
Revisioning Your Victorian Mansion with Plaids and Polka-dots
Original Stained Glass Patterns in Victorian Residential Architecture
The Lost Art of the Victorian Whorehouse
Notorious Residences: Cellar Skeletons in Victorian Homes
Blurry Drive-By Photos of Haunted Victorian Houses

something to give your book that special zing :D

4. I'd start with a visit to the library
They have trained professionals there whose job is to give free advice to people looking for new ways to make a living.

It's a totally cool resource and you're lucky enough to live in a city with a decent library.
