While photography can definitely be a 'solo' endeavor, it's also a lot of fun to meet and greet other photographers in your area. For an amateur like me, it's a great opportunity to pick some brains about technique, lighting, equipment, etc. And I've found that (at least in my city), photography get-togethers can be lively social events, too.
One good place to start is Flickr. Do a group search using the name of your nearest large city; there might be multiple groups, so I suggest joining the largest (most active) one. Strobist also has discussion groups on Flickr where people organize meetings if you're into learning about more advanced lighting techniques.
My city's Flickr group is having their big annual meeting in about five weeks; very much looking forward to it.
Does anyone else know if any resources for finding local photography groups?
