Hi! Loads of people ask where to go for graphics/artwork to use on they blanks.
so I found great website with lovely photographs free to use.
http://pixabay.com
here is what it says:
Pixabay.com is a repository for free public domain images. You can upload your own photos and share your work with others. You can use any image from this website freely for personal and commercial use without attributing the original author.

Great find!
What a nice simple website - without any of convoluted legalese that accompanies many others. I've often avoided other sites because their Terms are so wrapped up in nonsensical legalese that you still don't know what you can do with the images after they've told you.
Of course, you do have to trust those who upload that they're not uploading someone else's work. Just because pixabay say that you can use the images the way you want doesn't mean that'll stop owners of pilfered work from rattling cages.
But, beyond that, there are some nice images there. Think I might download a couple myself.

if we can not trust stock site so who we can trust then?
what if you download photo from istockphoto?? only because you payed for it not mean photo was uploaded by owner

Surely the responsibility for ensuring photos belong to the contributor belongs to the site owners? Or is there smallprint covering them?!

Sometimes you have to have faith, and download, to be honest it never occurred to me that it could happen, maybe I'm to trusting, or maybe positive outlook is better to describe me. But some very nice photos, so I going to down-load and be dammed.
