Idea: Make posters with the help of pro shops

Many specialist photo-lab shops now offer extra-large custom prints made on wide-format inkjet printers. (Before inkjet technology, it was a little more difficult and more costly to get a poster print (50 cm by 75 cm). You had to send off a negative to an outside processor to make a silver halide print.)
Make posters of your best prints and sell. Or offer a service where you organise for people's digital photos to be made into posters.

Idea: Make impressive photo aquariums

This idea is courtesy of Photojojo.

"So why a photo aquarium? Besides giving your scaly pal a beautiful new vista, it’s a great way to freshen up your home or apartment. Or surprise a friend and dress up his fishtank for the holidays! You can make a photo aquarium with everything from the tiniest plastic tank to the very largest glass behemoth."

We suggest buying aquariums and using your best photos to make aquarium vistas then sell these. Try selling through pet stores, on ebay, or place in novelty stores.
