Any number of profit-able niches, including families (kid pix), pets, amateur athletes ... and of course the old standbys like weddings and portraits.
Think about it and something might "click," huh?

Thanks Robert J.
So, I was running around yesterday, camera in pocket (phone) and I went to bank, and Discount Drug Mart, my fav store, a sort of throwback to a Woolworth's, a bit of everything...
And I noticed at the counter they had a special, for 1.99 I can get an 8x10 COLLAGE printed.
Well, our downtown is being redone, and what was a pedestrian mall for 30 years is being opened to traffic, a 12 million dollar project.
I read your post and wondered, why am I not snapping pics along the way? What a great opportunity to CREATE a keepsake, mix in a few OLD 1975 pics with TODAY'S construction, and offer a COLLAGE.
Well, today and tomorrow, I'll be snapping and creating a few pics, and then maybe offer them at Alumni sites. My class had almost a 1000 kids in it, close to 3k in a 3 grade high school. With thousands of alumni, and a bit of nostalgia, I should be able to make it worth my while, just walking around as usual, but being AWARE I have a money maker in my pocket, if I choose to use it and my NOGGIN, and cheap ready to use technology. I'm going to blow the 8x10 up into a 18 x 24 poster, and see if that can be sold.
Good ideas are here, when people decide to post. We just never know what someone will do with these ideas.
