Wow. Lots of questions.
1) Good starter camera? The best you can afford.
2) Develop without a darkroom? No. That's why digital photography has taken off.
3) Big pic on silver background? No idea.
4) Sell your pic? Yes, you can.

First you need to take some photography classes. Learn about aperture (aka f-stop), shutter speed, ISO, light, composition using a 35mm all manual film camera. Learn to see photographically. Once you have learned all those things then you can begin looking to upgrade to a DSLR.
You will also learn, in your classes, that most architectural photography is done using a view camera and why. For architectural photography with a DSLR you'll be looking at buying a tilt/shift lens as offered by Canon and Nikon.
Having the financial means to buy an expensive DSLR and several lenses does not make you a photographer. Knowing how to use the equipment and wring every last iota of capability from it makes you a photographer.

Hi, I'd also recommend the Canon EOS 400d, also the best (widest aperture) lenses you can get. Film is pretty much dead now and you'll learn more quickly if you#re working on digital (instant feedback / preview / histogram).
The picture of the man was probably printed by a commercial (CMYK) press with a silver 'spot' / special colour.
If you take a good pic you probably can sell it - but you'll find it easier if you have plenty of good pics to sell.
Good luck!

Personally, I would go with a cheap $100 camera then upgrade to SLR. I heard a really good SLR was the Nikon D40x. Yes, you can develop w/o a darkroom. Using an SD card is what you'd do for uploading to a computer.

Have a look at redbubble.com and have a look at the work on there. Email me if you are interested, and I will send you a link to my page on there, and a few others to look at, and will give you the details of the camera used. Its not a Nikon, or Cannon. Proving that the most expensive cameras are not necessary the best.
Good luck.

A Cannon EOS 400d is a good starter.. its digital so you don,t need a dark room just a computer, has 10 mega pixels so blowing your pictures up won,t be a problem.. get yourself some digital software and you can have hours of fun enhancing your shots on your computer... if you want to sell your pictures try www.photobox.co.uk

"Please don't post if you're like 12 and think that you do photography when you tilt the camera and take a picture of any object up close.. thanks." I was set to post my link then I saw your critical attitude. Hey, I'm not a fan of them either but I've learned the hard way what being an a--hole about it can do.

Any good picture can sell for a lot. Oh wait. I thought you said pornography. In your case then, no.
