hi,

I would like to know where can I go to get free to use photos and graphics to use? Like photos of people, computers, etc.

darktiger, do a Google Image Search, other than that you'll have to pay if you want decent photos without royalties
As a supposed "Web Designer" shouldn't you know this already?

The images Google show are still copyrighted for the most part, so it's not a good place to try to find 'royalty free' images.

I would suggest Google still. Try a net search for things such as:

royalty free images
free clipart
free photos
download free art

etc etc...

If you want to save a lot of time and effort Hemera has some great packages that are very affordable:

thanks sticks i'll check those sites. currently i use a program to get most of my images. google images has good images but does it search via what the image's file name. so some could not be exactly free to us.

darktiger would you like to share that program that you use to get most of your images?
