Where do you get graphics and photos from?

    Where do you get graphics and photos for your websites that you could legally use? I know all about istockphoto and places like that. I just don't feel like spending $5-$10 every time I want a photo.

    So where do most of the designers here get there graphics from?

    Let's say for example you were building a real estate related site and you wanted some simple pics of houses. Where would be the first place you would look?

    You could try photorack.net, they seem to have a decent amount of photos and images that are free to use

    You should not be using them, as you are not legally allowed to use them. They are other websites images.

    www.sxc.hu is a good one for photos if you are not able to create them on your own

    That's what I was thinking also. This has to be illegal.

    Most of the photos that show up in Google Image Search are low resolution and are not decent for website use.
