Free Photos from Stock.xchng

One of the challenges of building a Squidoo lenses is finding pictures to use. Some people just grab whatever they find from a Google image search, but unless you’re reviewing a product, that’s usually not a good idea. You’ll avoid trouble if you use royalty-free, public domain images for your lenses.

I get a lot of my stock photos from a Stock.xchng for free. I don’t always find exactly what I’m looking for here, but there is still a surprising variety of pictures you can grab without paying a penny. The website also has some premium pictures you can buy for $1.

No clipart or funny cartoons here, unfortunately. But if you want free photographs of people, animals, or everyday objects, Stock.xchng is a good place to start.
