Do you like to take picture, video and playing online games?  Do you want to do that rest of your life instead of working in a box?

 As a amature photographer, Go to an online stock photo (which is what the photos you have are called) agency and sign up. Its free and once you are registered you can post images whenever you like on the site. They do the accounting and send checks-monthl,quarterly, semi-annually and they take a cut for all the marketing and web design they do. Plus when you sign up they will give you very clear guidelines for what kind of iamges sell and all the legal stuff -what model releases are needed etc.
You could use Flicker, YouTube.  However, you want to get a Professional Field with College Degree?  You can Check out Collins College, they offer variety AA, BA, and BS degrees in Game design, Animation, Visual Art, etc.   Game Desing is very hot field to get in now if you enjoy Photo, Design, and Digital Art.  

Video games are big business. We’re talking about a multi-billion dollar industry that has now outgrown many other industries in a very short period of time. Video games are no longer looked upon as kids entertainment. Walk into any video games outlet, and you will see 20-30 year olds checking out the latest versions of Grand Theft Auto or the Sims. With the recent releases of the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii, producing games will be harder and a lot more involved. Video game designer teams producing these games have ballooned in size to meet the demand of a next gen experience.

So what does this mean for you? Basically, there are a load of opportunities to get into the video game industry. Video game popularity and complexity is exploding, and so are the opportunities at game companies and studios.

Everything starts with your willingness, imaginess, and your digital equipment.
