Stock Photos
I’ve been working on my site, very intensely – which is why my posting rate here has slowed a bit.
I’m doing my own custom design, rather than buying a template. In my opinion, all hosting company templates look the same and I refuse to go down that route.
So I’m working on my own design. Man, does stock art cost a fortune…easily $3-4 per picture, assuming there are no human models. Some pics or $100+! I’m looking at istockphoto, dreamtime, etc.
I did make a note of sites that have free stock are. The selection is maybe 5% of what the pay sites have, but every pic I find there saves me money. In case anyone else would like to look:
Ah, how I long for those days when I’d be putting together a personal page and would grab anything I wanted off Google Images. Being a business, I have to play by the rules.

CanStockPhoto.com is one of my favorite. I actually find that many photographers from iStockPhotos who don’t get certain photos approved put it on CanStockPhoto.
Great price at $2-3 for most photos I find in the resolutions I need for the web.
Thanks for sharing your free stock photo websites. Those are always useful. I didn’t have 123rf.com in my bookmarks.
