They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
I say a good picture is worth much more.
There are times when just the right image is needed to complete a post. You’ve written your heart out and all you need is the icing on the cake. So where do you find such an animal?
You could take your own picture or look through your library of images (and there are plenty of great resources for improving your photography skills and then taking them to the next level with Photoshop Elements).
But what do you do when you cant find that perfect image of a clock, group of women talking, fried egg, tricycle or “for sale” sign?
Enter stock photos and graphics. There are a plethora of resources on the internet. Here are some of the ones I’ve used and had success with (click on the logo to go to the site).
Commercial Sites:
Free or Mostly Free Sites (be sure to comply with copyright laws!):
So what sources do you use? Feel free to share in the comments…
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I don’t use stock photos much in my blog (though I should… hmmm…), but I use them all the time at work! Well, I try to use them. I can never find the “perfect” picture that I’m looking for.
I could kiss you.

Thank you for more options…I usually use Flickr if I’m not using my own.
