First of all, you're not crazy. My MIL, FIL, and Stepfather IL all changed careers in their 50s. Like, drastic changes. Blue collar to medical field; white collar to art.
2nd, you are NOT starting over when your boss resigns. If you network, then you can segue to another position for someone in politics. This is how many folks in politics move around, one campaign to another; one official to another. Plus, you now have a reference for this type of work, as opposed to your rep in court or a McDonald's manager.
It's not if you are ridiculous to change professions, it's doing enough research to determine if you have what you need and are willing to do what you need to in order to change into photography. Can you create a career viable path for it? You can't just "change" careers; you have to create something like that.
I highly recommend finding a good career counselor in your area, someone who can help you analyze your values and priorities in moving forward.
Also, just for fun, you can read What Can you do with a Law Degree. It addresses options other than standard law firm work.
Good luck!
