- This is my favourite. Almost all of the photographs which I use which are not my own work come from PhotoXpress.

Another Source of High Quality Pictures
- AllPosters.com
- Sign up as an affiliate to AllPosters.com and you can add their posters to your site. Not only does this add picture content of the very highest quality, but you will also get paid for any posters that are sold from your links.
Take Your Own Pictures
Photo agencies will not always have the images that you need especially if you need to illustrate a Website which is on a very specialist subject.If you are serious about Squidoo then I strongly recommend that you learn to take high quality photographs for yourself. This will involve some cash outlay when you start out but it will repay itself again and again.
You will be unlikely to get consistently high quality results if you use your mobile phone camera. If you can afford to do so, you would do well to buy a digital SLR camera. An entry level model is fine for Internet work.
There are many websites and forums which will help you to learn photographic technique.
Learn to Use a Camera
Completing a good photography course will make a massive difference to the quality of your photographs and your websites.

- Well, that comment was meant for your gold coins page:) I need my coffee

- I collect lots of things, but not coins (although I am strongly considering investing in gold coins). I think gold coins, British or others, is the kind of collection that will never depreciate in value (as oppose to many other collectibles, including stamps)

- So far, I have used only my own photos. Occasionally, though, I have needed a photo that I don't have and don't have the option of making. So, thank you for a very helpful lens.
