No longer free I'm afraid. Looks like another photographic resource gets swallowed up by the monster that is Getty. I think I'll start up a photographic website, allowing photographers to upload their images and get a little cash for letting people download them... in the hope that Getty will come along in 3 years and buy it for $50M! LOL! stock.xchng has now been “acquired” by guess who???… yes, Getty!

Thanks for the tip. This site it is a nice alternative. Especially since I've been doing a lot of work for non-profits lately with really tight budgets, this is a great find. Is anyone else upset with istockphoto's constant price hikes? I used to buy photos all the time there. I'd see something I likes, I'd buy it without thinking twice. Now that the prices have more than doubled since I started using the site, I rarely buy anymore. <em>Mf9designdotcom's last blog post..<a href='http://mf9designdotcom.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/childhood-and-nintendo-reunited-through-blik-wall-graphics/'>Childhood and Nintendo ? reunited through Blik wall graphics!</a></em> Wow!

Google Image Search is just pulling results from individual sites like yours or mine. I would doubt if ANY of the images you find through Google are royalty free.
