Need Free Photos for Your Blog too?

By startupprincess | Published April 3, 2007

images.jpgToday’s Magic Wand: Now that I’m seeing the value of adding images (why dPhotographer Girlid it take me so long??), I’ve been getting asked about my source. I’ll tell you my secret, it’s Flickr. Yep, you can search with key words and use these images for free. Of course, you will see a lot of really poor quality photos in the mix, but there’s some great shots too, I usually can find what I’m looking for very quickly. Enjoy using photography on your blogs too! A picture does paint a thousand words, doesn’t it?

    From an artist/photographer’s stand point using Flickr is interesting, what’s your take on it? Do you think that photographers who post on Flickr hurt other photographers who want to get paid for their pix?

    Hi Kelly & Kristen.
    I got flickr.com to finally work for me…in a complicated way. I tried photobucket.com and couldn’t find the URLs.
    Here are all my very complex instructions.
    Any easier advice is greatly appreciated.

    Ponn,
    There aren’t URLS for photobucket, you just search for the image with a keyword you want, select, drag and it works. ;)

Got something to say?
