Where to get stock photos for blogs/websites?

    I have searched the internet for high quality stock photographs at affordable prices, but all in vain. There are sites which offer really good photographs, but they charge 150-200$ (or more) per month. I am looking for websites which offers a membership option to download unlimited photos at really affordable prices...can you help?

    I use 123rf.com. I just deposit money as I go, so the price for blog-ready photo (typically around 400px*200px) is $1. With membership, it drops to around 60 cents.

    I have used this site http://www.sxc.hu/
    You pay per photo. I haven't seen yet a stock photography site that offers unlimited downloads.

    What kind of photo niche you looking for?
    Its always good to approach directly with the photo owner to save cost.

    I offer images starting at $1 each - and 50mb of downloads for $10. See the first link in my signature.

    If there is a particular kind of image or illustration you are looking for, just let me know - I may be able to create it for you.
