It's just another medium. Learn the technical basics, then start making the pictures you want to make. If you don't know what you want to make, figure that out first.

Learn the basics of exposure, composition, colour theory and subject. The 35mm photographers handbook is a good place to start.

Then take photos, lots of photos, if you're going with digital your first 100k shots are practice, on film your first 10k shots are practice. The process of improvement is simple; shoot, edit, identify what works well/what you like and why, consider how to expand on these moments, shoot more, repeat. Once you are familiar with what you enjoy shooting, look into similar artists, identify what they are doing better/what you can do to improve your shots.

It's no different to playing an instrument and takes no less passion or practice, your camera can take a technically perfect shot with minimal human involvement, just like a casio keyboard can drop a sick demo beat. Presenting a technically perfect photo with little else to it (typical snapshot photography) is as appealing and enticing as pushing the demo button on the casio.

There is nothing "special" about you, that will allow you to take great photos the second you get an expensive camera.
