In both cases, it was a house they were trying to rent. With the money they save on newspaper advertising they can easily put towards professional photography. Rentals are also a market to be tapped for re photographers. It's incredible what a phenom Craigslist has become. Costing newspapers dearly.

Craig’s List has made classified ads in newspapers an unimportant tool for the sale of almost anything. Craig’s List may change a lot of things before someone comes up with a better idea. Real Estate agents are at risk of suffering a similar fate if they don’t find a way to adapt to the changing markets. Most of the Realtors that I deal with are trying to find ways to mesh what they have always done with what needs to be done with internet oriented marketing, and most of them are making little or no progress. The Real Estate industry is in desperate need of some creative thinking. I think commercial photography has a very bright future. Larry,
