PD Photo -- Free Photos And Pictures

Finding images to use in your site is a real pain if you care anything about the photographer's copyright. While looking for a nice picture of a frog I found some sites charging hundreds of dollars for a single image. While I understand that a photographer can spend thousands of dollars on photographic equipment, and they need to eat too, that pricing is way too high for my budget.

Fortunately, there's a great site, PD Photo.org that is a repository of public domain and royalty free images that you can manipulate and use for pretty much anything you want. The only thing they ask is that you verify the license of the photo before you use it, as some of their photo's do have restrictions (which they explain in their FAQ) and to provide a link back to them acknowledging where you found the image.

Well, I found a couple images that I like and am already using one for the header of this blog. Visit their site and check them out.
