Answer 2

There's this nasty thing called copyrights... If you are taking images from the tubes you need to make sure that you are allowed to use them in the fashion that you want.

Answer 3

Found pics depends if they may be used. When I'm looking for pictures I usually make use of Flickr

Answer 4

For my personal website, I use some images from Flickr. The only difference is that I don't just grab the first few pictures that show up on the search results; I use Advanced Search and modify my search to display just the images tagged with a Creative Commons license. That's one less headache for me with regard to copyrights ;)

Answer 5

I get mine from iStockphoto.com. You may search royaly-free images and photos from the site.

Answer 6

I use IstockPhoto.com as the prices are cheaper than most 'Professional' royalty free sites, and the Quality is much better than most of the free sites.

Answer 7

Why don't you learn how to make them yourself? There's no reason to stay dependent on other sources for something you could easily do yourself. You're the only one that knows exactly what you want.
