10 Resources for Breathtaking and Free Stock
Photos

• A picture speaks louder than a thousand words.
  Every site uses imagery in some form or another.
  A couple of good photos can really change the way
  a web page feels. Nowadays there is so much vivid
  imagery available for free online, a huge leap
  from the sterile stock photos that were once the
  standard.
• Where do you find great stock photos though? You
  can often get them for free, but you have to be
  aware of the implications. Legally speaking, free
  photos will either fall under public domain or
  the creative commons license. Even then, some
  authors might request credit for their work.
