Can I be a writer without being a journalist?

Of course, right?
I want many things out of life, I want to be many things, see many things and experience wonderful things.
But there's something breaking me.
I would love to take photos, and write for a living - travel and write the stories of the lives of other people.
The last thing the world needs is another "Miss. Hope" writing about the "poor" from a place she deems unfit for civilized persons...
I'd much rather come as close as I can to walking along the path they've walked, see people as people, and let them tell me what no one else will hear.
I hate this cliche but I want to do it for a living.
I want to help and give until I have nothing else to give.
My time, years, work, hands, my voice and ears.
Lend out me, it's the least I could do.
