Getting suitable photos / pictures?

    Hi,

    I've noticed that one of the most popular tips here is to place pictures above adverts. I'm trying to do that now but am having trouble finding suitable images. Searches for Public Domain photographs just bring up a load of garbage in Google, so I was wondering if anyone on this forum could point me in the right direction?

    For example, I am currently looking for small sized photos of children from a variety of ethnic groups.

    Kind Regards,

    fcmisc.

    I use Stock Exchange its free and member driven. Tons of images in lots of categories. I just ran across www.dreamstime.com as well, but haven't had the time to explore it

    Here's an example search for ethnic children at the library of congress:
    http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/f?fsaall,app,brum,detr,swann,look,gottscho,pan,horyd,genthe,var,cai,cd,hh,yan,bbcards,lomax,ils,prok,brhc,nclc,matpc,iucpub:0:./temp/~pp_OScG:

    You have to check the individual records to see if it is public domain, but they have a lot of unique pictures. Usually there is something like this in the record:
    No known restrictions on publication in the U.S. Use elsewhere may be restricted by other countries' laws. For general information see "Copyright and Other Restrictions..." (http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/print/195_copr.html)

    Hey,

    Thanks for all the results guys. I guess the reason why my own search failed was because I didn't know I had to search for "stock" photos. I guess that you really do learn something new everyday...
