    Hi, We got kinda lost since we're new to Squidoo and ended up finding this lens. We really like it. Beautiful photos.
  • turtleface Aug 23, 2011 @ 11:07 pm | delete
    I initially was using some of your links and found freedigitalphotos.net to be pretty good, and stock,xchange (www.sxc.hu) to be pretty good. But the best results I had was with flickr.com. I learned that what you do is right click on the photo and read on whether or not the photo is "All Rights Reserved" or lesser. There's a whole slew of photos in there to be used that are not protected.
