Next comes distribution to stores, art shows and galleries, photo conventions, etc.

You have to consider your talents, options and market feasibility. Is there a demand somewhere for your skills, background and experience? Are you marketable?
When you say you've published one? That means people can buy it? That's so exciting!

Photography will always be marketable and people will always want to purchase high priced photos - no matter how many of us amateurs pop up. When I figure out how to split myself in half so I can work two companies - I am positive photography will be my thing. I could probably making a killing right now if I start setting up beach photos. It's like 400 bucks for them to just come to the beach and take photos, then you still have to purchase prints. sunrise, and sunset you are potentially making 2k+ for a few days worth of work (after edit). That would be cool.

The great thing about photography you can probably work doing this longer than most other jobs, and always enjoy it.
