How long do you think an image will sell for.

I am not sure what it would take for a landscape image to become unsaleable... perhaps megapixel size, but I am not sure what else. But is the life of a landscape REALLY unending?

As for fashion, technology and such images, I wonder if 5 years is about a max life? However perhaps after 15 years they will become markatable again,because they are then hot for retro images.

what do you think?

I think any image that doesn't have anything in it to suggest a date will most likely always sell. Such as food, landscape, objects and etc. An image would have to be hugely popular before it would loose it market value from over use. Fashion of course changes constantly and you will need to update you images. Thus I think that is part of the reason there is and probably always will be a strong demand for people pictures. You can't pull out your library of images over the last 20 years and upload them. They have to be somewhat recent.
