Thank you BIS.

I would just like to add a site specific to icons, instead of pictures (if anyone is interested to enhance the view of a website):

ICONSPEDIA: http://www.iconspedia.com/

It's all free and it has a very large database.

Great info "BIS." There's another source that you can use for FREE even for commercial purposes AND no attribution required! I just used some for a landing page header. Here's the Licensing Terms: http://morguefile.com/license/morguefile/

Thanks for this. I'm going to check out all the ideas that people have given me - and then I will add a page for them - so we have a really good resource for people.

I second that - great training resource BIS. A new player in town that I've checked out is PhotoDune.net. They have a nice collection of stock images which I haven't seen replicated across other marketplaces.

Great resource again BIS, also very good how you've gone into some detail and not just listed a bunch of sites. Thanks

Thanks Craig. It's not a very long list but I wanted to be able to talk about sites that I've used myself.

I also use Clipart.com for paid photos and normally find what ever I'm looking for, I like them because the price is pretty good compared to other stock photo sites and they offer subscriptions like you pointed out.
