We live in a photo-crazy world, made possible by improving technology in digital cameras and camera phones. It's no longer unusual to see a girl taking a picture of herself at a restaurant table or a group of friends taking pictures of themselves at the mall. Now that we can enjoy our photos instantly, picture taking isn't restricted to vacations or special occasions anymore. People also take more pictures these days because it's easier to share them and get pleasure from them. Members of Friendster and MySpace suddenly have a lot more to do with their pictures than store them in a drawer at home. So it's no surprise that people whose home businesses have something to do with photos are enjoying a lot of success.

Dee Ann Turner is one of these people. A resident of Nacogdoches, Texas, Dee Ann hit upon the idea of turning photos into treasured accessories when she saw a purse decorated with family photos. Today her home business, DAT Picture Purses, makes not only purses but also diaper bags, pillows, checkbook holders, and lampshades. For the more solemn moments in the life of a family, Dee Ann provides Bible covers and casket inserts.

Dee Ann's home business has really taken off thanks in part to her web site, www.datpicturepurses.com, which helps her reach customers all over the United States. Because internet use has contributed so much to the photo-crazy culture, it makes sense to use the internet to reach people interested in finding new ways to get pleasure from their photos.

Enjoying our photos is part of enjoying our life with our family and friends. If you can find a way to provide a product or service that links photos with family, friendship, love, and community, as Dee Ann did, you'll be putting your home business on track to success.
