Public Domain Pictures for everybody

    Hi guys,

    I know how hard is to find free images to use on your websites. I like photography so I decided to create a website where I will put my photos under public domain license. Site is on-line only for 60 hours so there is only around 150 photos right now, but I'll upload much more. Just give me time. :)

    If you use them a reputation would be appreciated or a small donation to our eco-house would make me really happy.

    Enjoy it ;)

    Thanks. Yes, I take those pictures. I really like photography and if ads pay for that website cost I will keep it running and growing as long as possible.


    PS: It's a picture of my girlfriend on one of our walks.

    Yes, a nice picture, I mean artistic. That's what I like about quality photos.

    Good luck, and I might be interested in using some of your pictures if you won't mind :)

    Go ahead, they're public domain. Now they belong to everybody. ;)

    Thanks man - this is cool. Keep adding more photos and promoting and it will go well. I know most of the current sources of pub domain photos. I can suggest looking through them and finding unfilled niche categories.

    You can possibly allow others to submit their photos in the future, which will be a way of taking it to the next level.

    I often struggle to find stuff that is high quality (I know you pay for what you get)
    I've bookmarked your site :)

    Excellent Pictures man, You are a good photographer indeed. Why not create a Stock photos site?

    I thought about it but there would be a problem that I could never be sure that they have the rights to release submitted pictures as public domain.

    But time will tell. Maybe I'll change my mind.

    I want people to use my pictures freely as they want. I believe that nobody will abuse it (linking to pictures and use my server sources, making exact copy of my website etc.).

    There are plenty of stock photo sites. I put a link to Fotolia on website so if anyone is interested in their hi-res versions (8MP) they can purchase it there.

    All pictures are all nice indeed, just hope they will be still available by the time I decide to use any of them :)
