I just exhausted my account yesterday, so the free credits will come in handy! Also, thanks to Lars for the tip about www.morguefile.com. I checked it out, and they have some very good quality photos. Thanks for the istockphoto free code. I just exhausted my account yesterday, so the free credits will come in handy!

Go away. Michelle, I do hate it when companies show up on blog comments trying to market themselves. Go away.

I also agree that it is a good idea to make sure that all of the photos on your site/blog are legit. If you decide to work with a freelancer, selecting your photos not only gives you more creative control, but it ensures that you're using legit photos. If you are looking for someone to build your site or update it, check out <strong>oDesk</strong> <a href="http://www.odesk.com" rel="nofollow"></a>. There are over 25,000 tested and rated freelancers on the site and the tools oDesk provides makes it easy to work with someone remotely. ~Michelle, oDesk <a href="http://www.odesk.com" rel="nofollow"></a> Thanks for tip about istockphoto.

Photos are just a few bucks compared to buying very expensive subscriptions on other sites. I can also easily email clients links to a few photos for their approval before I use them.

You can find just about anything on there, and it's good! But I think your readers should also know about this completely free stock photo site: http://www.morguefile.com/ The selection totally sucks in comparison to istockphoto, but if you can find what you are looking for, the quality is often very good. Once again, I totally recommend istockphoto! I hope it isn't jerky of me to also recommend an alternative. One final piece of advice! If you are ever hiring a web designer, MAKE SURE that they are using legitimate photos and that they purchased a license for them. I use elance for web design projects often. I pick out the photos myself from istockphoto and deliver them to the web designer to use so that I don't risk infringing on anyone's work. If you use stolen photos, you are eventually going to get caught! I am a big user of istockphoto.com, and I also highly recommend them. You can find just about anything on there, and it’s good!
