    Appreciated your view but the purpose of this blog is only to show images. What I want to know from you guys is how to post large and clear size image in your blog post, which looks clear and of course attractive.

    Self host it and use Word Press, and then get yourself a nice photo blog theme.

    You still need to add some content( text) if you ever want to get any traffic...of course you could just rely on Google images for traffic, but it's hard to make any money without natural search engine traffic, lots of links, or a PPC campaign. ( and Google image traffic is not converting traffic).

    I don't know about themes for free hosted blogs, your options are severely limited with what you can do, and what customizations and options you can have.
    You are going to have to search Blogger Themes and see what you find.

    He's trying to say that you just can't take images that aren't yours, or that you didn't take, or don't have permission to use and just open a photo blog with them.

    Just because you can find images online, doesn't meant that it's a free for all and you can just take and use want ever you want.

    If you want to run a photo blog, you need to secure a legal source for images that you can use without infringing on the owners rights.

    You don't even give credit to the source of the images( not that it makes much difference).

    Maybe think of another niche for your blog. can't have a photo blog without pictures.

    There is no question that images are protected by copyright, although some may be released for use on personal or non-commercial websites and blogs, or various other stipulations.

    Will you get caught or be asked to stop from the owners of the images ? There is no way to say. Some won't care, Some will never know, and one or two may send you a letter about it.

    But that fact that your blog is nothing but photos, yet you don't have a reliable , legal source of photos, and you don't take your own, is just crazy.

    There are only a few ways to legally use images on the web:
    1. Take them yourself
    2. Belong to a subscription service like AP (Associate Press)
    3. Ask permission
    4. Use photos distributed under creative commons, or for promotional purposes.

    That's pretty much it, and those are the rules that most of us follow.
