Serious Photography

Ok the title is right. I am taking photography into a serious matter. I always dream to be good in this line. I wanted to join a photography group in order to enhance my skills. I also need to have a social life. A friend told me that people makes her younger and I don't want to grow old alone with only a few people around me. I want to go out with different people and make a lot of friends. I want to be young always.
