HERE is an interesting technology for large beautiful prints, some can be printed on canvas, stretched and hung like a painting. Although it must not be that difficult to job out the printing for these, you don't see it advertised on local photographer's websites.
GICLEE PRINTS, LARGE OIL PRINTS
SHUTTERFLY'S LARGE, ON CANVAS PRINTS
SMUGMUG'S LARGE, ON CANVAS PRINTS

" SEND THE GIFT OF...." & "DOGGIEGRAMs..... " type of ideas. I like the idea that some people might not by something for themselves or their dog but would -especially if in a rush & lost for a gift idea - buy something for a friend, especially if they can just click, click, click and have it sent. Here are just some examples:
DOGGIE-GRAM PERSONALIZED TENNIS BALLS

ANYONE know anything about part time jobs at these doggie daycare centers like CANINE KINDERGARTEN, BEST FRIENDS, CANINE COMPANIONS ?
HERE'S the under construction development of my dog photography site. The Clients are, of course, fictional:

ANOTHER idea : PHOTO PARTIES : bring your dog to a "photo day." I don't know exactly what a "photo day " would be; some location that is probably rented. Could have many unique backdrops for fun photos.

NOT MUCH progress on the INCOME PROJECT. If I was gonna have some kind of PET PHOTO BUSINESS , I'm still attracted to calling it something like " DISCOUNT PET PHOTOGRAPHY WAREHOUSE." Seems like a humorous way to get out of the soft focus, pseudo Tiffany look of most Photo biz sites. Except, I don't know how you would charge $250.00 a session with a title like that.
HAVE BEEN thinking lately if there could be such a thing as a "PHOTO PARTY?" Some thing where you bring your dog to a place with a whole lot of other dogs and the dogs keep getting their picture taken at that event. Kind of like me at the dog park only it costs some kind of money to attend; and money for pics you might order.
MOST interesting thing I've come across in my research:

I'VE STARTED exploring the "CAFEPRESS" concept. Have to say that so far doesn't look good. It's a place online where mostly one comes up with ideas - photos, cartoons, words - to place on t-shirts, coffee mugs aprons etc. CafePress then does all the printing, mailing, billing etc .... takes a percentage and cuts you a check for the rest.
GUESS someone like me could come up with something witty. Have no idea how much money you could get. Maybe a nice side stream of income ? Here's the link to the site :

BEST WOULD BE some kind of Photography business, utilizing the already started DOTCOM.FUR identity. BUT - gotta go mow the lawn now. Thanks for any thoughts

....... SOME KIND OF PET PHOTOGRAPHY business stills seems the way to go. But I think it would be best to have something unique to offer. Some type of equipment, studio, lighting, technique that it would be very difficult to get anywhere else; or that someone's friend couldn't almost do just as well. Something I could invest the time and money into -upfront- that it wouldn't be worth it for the client to purchase for just that one occasion. Kinda like what putting photographs on the icing of cakes must have been awhile ago But :you know, totally not like that. Had this idea yesterday of wallpaper or wallpaper room borders of the pet's photo. Have seen the process available online. 'Cept why wouldn't the client just do it online ?
"Discount Pet Photography Warehouse ! ", " Big savings on focus ", " No Trade Ins. "
Okay, Gotta go.
