Default Where Do You Find Photos For Your Blog?

Just curious how you find the photos you use in your blog. I have been looking for some for a few posts but would like all suggestions other than google images.

Thanks in advance and curious to hear your thoughts,

I use flickr. I make sure they're under the CC Licence, or indeed I ask permission from the author. Usually they say yes.

Often it works both ways as the author sometimes becomes a reader

Thanks for the help. I'm going to look into flickr now because images really help complete a blog post but finding images you can use without worry isn't so easy anymore.

I don't use an image for each of my blog post like how probloggers do it. But if I do include an image in my post, it would be taken myself, rather than from the internet.

However, Donna recently compiled a list of sites from which we can find free stock photos. Check out her post -- Favorite 10 Free Stock Photo Download Sites.

I use photo's for most of my posts (technically that's what my blog is about, my photo's). So they are all mine so far, although I have considered adding a section for photo's found on Flickr that I have permission to post little thumbs of.
