What do you use for pictures?

Another great resource with tons of links & options for public domain images:

I've been using this site for a while. They have good pics and they are free.

http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

I use the site above too. If you are using the free version of the image, you are supposed to include a link back to the photographer's page. Just to keep everything right!

...this might be crossing the line a bit, but is there a resource of people pictures you could use for 'pen name' accounts?

try to go to all of the stock sites, there is very often a free section where you can grab them. though you have to be a member of the site, - but that is free too! :-)

good luck with your site

I luck out in that I have a parenting blog, four [not-so-willing] models, and a photographer. When I do need a image I can't take myself I typically grab a product photo from the manufacture site or off of Amazon. When I need something a little more specific I usually use the free images on Dreamstime.com or the low cost ones on 123rf.com

I use http://www.iclipart.com for my blog post images.

Here's a breakdown of the different subscriptions fees.

Presently, I'm subscribed to the $50 license and that covers all my needs. And the quality of the images (in terms of professionalism) is great. I'm very happy with this service.

I just took a look at www.iClipart.com and it looks like they have good quality material.

Depending on the size of the photo you need, I recommend checking out Freedigitalphotos.net. I always use it and they have a decent selection. Most photos under 400x400 pixels are free as long as you give them credit. Larger photos will cost you though. Hope this helps

I always try to take pics or just go into royalty free image sites like shutterstock.

I recently tried my hand at drawing an image and then loading it online. It was interesting but original.
