Buy yourself a reasonable camera and carry it with you every day wherever you go and take photos of things that impress and concern you. Listen to advice, enter competitions and really believe that you want other people to see the things you see in the same light. It will take years but one day you will capture an image that will make you famous in someone's eyes. Good luck.

I took an art class in college and the professor told us he painted with casein on rice paper. I asked why? I wondered what advantages that medium had. The professor said no one else was doing it and that's how you get famous. For the record, you've never heard of him. It didn't work.
You get famous, in my opinion, by taking pictures of subjects that have been done but doing them better.

Any photo of tiger woods at all right now would probably be enough. He's been in the bunker since Elin broke his face with a 9 iron. (
how about a photo of Tiger Woods himself kissing another man? I reckon that would get you even more fame

Almost everything fits that crterial. Take a picture of anything and it's almost guaranteed to never have been photographed before. Go to your kitchen and take a fork out of the drawer. Take a picture of it. It's amost guaranteed that there is not a photograph of that particular fork anywhere else in the world. All you need to add to that formula is to add a novel point of view to whatever object it is you are photographing.
Example: Edward Weston, Pepper #30
One of the most famous photos ever.
Nothing but a humble pepper from his kitchen. All he added was the all-important PoV.
