Place I use for images is istockphoto which have pretty reasonable prices. Remember that although you are purchasing a Royalty Free image you can not sell the item you have printed as RF does not include that aspect.

The alternative which I have also done is pop in to a local photographers and asked them if they have some images to use and in return given them some printed mugs (or something similar) as payment.

Take a few photographs of your dog or cat or a tree in the garden or a sunrise/sunset. I do not think that you need 'professional' images these days to give people an idea of what you are doing!

Well perhaps I just don't consider my photography skills to be crap. Putting crap on a plate never seems to be a problem for McD does it lol

Have you noticed though that mac d's photos look a damn site better than their product tastes.

The exception to the rule is of course Polish Vodka after the first glass it doesn't matter what it tastes like and you can't see what it looks like. lol

If at first you don't succeed, read the manual.
