And again, I stress, boring everyday simple objects. Understand the market: look at the photos in every brochure, flyer, report, advertisement, print and web. Again, some underpaid graphic designer agonized searching for that boring image of a fork, a lone tree, and was elated when she found it for a $1.

That's the whole thing. Themes like scenics, flowers and animals have no real use in the commercial world, and they're a dime a dozen.

But if you took a good-looking, old, photogenic man and woman, like they're a retired married couple, and spent three days shooting in a variety of settings, THOSE shots sell for good money because they can be used to sell everything from vitamins to condos to vacations--you name it.
