You know image are always something that will be looked for - it's hard because you find so many other sites using the same images - - I mean how many sites have we seen using that girl with the headset -

I spend alot of time browsing http://www.sxc.hu -

If you check on the usage - eg.. some say free with no restrictions, you can then use them and there are quite a few.

I found that has been a great starting point.  And for client projects I now tend to rely on them to send me some images/stock especially when you're talking about specific industry files - I'm doing a surfwear website at the moment and we can't find the exact images and have had to tell client to provide us with some stock because we cannot get the look they are hoping to achieve from free files found on the internet.

So that's one of my favourite places to look.
