Use of photos: where do you get them?
hi,
sometimes you see headers with photos merged into them, well it happens a lot. You see people smiling and all that pathetic stuff
but where do you get that pics?
I often search stock photography sites like corbis or sxc.hu but I would like to know if there are better solutions available
grtz

You can always go to a photography forum and make some friends, then ask a photography to go take a picture for you.

Morguefile is great. Most times the photographers merely want to know that you've used their picture. Maybe a credit somewhere. And there are some great photos there.

i frequent...
photocase.de as well as the others that have been mentioned... istock is probably the best when it comes to value/quality/price and also the feeling of knowing that ALL images have been released by the photographer (no nasty lawsuits down the road).
just found this one,
http://www.dreamstime.com
don't know how I feel about it yet though.
