Great free image libraries
I've recently stumbled upon two sites that demonstrate photography's verson of freeware. On both sites, photographers upload images for free use by the public. Many of these photos are from professional photographers who contribute work they've done which was not selected by their clients. Although the quality does vary, I was very impresssed by how well the content of both sites stacks up to the commercial vendors.
MourgeFile contains photographs freely contributed by many artists for free personal or commercial use.
Stock.xchng has a searchable gallery containing over 85.000 quality stock photos by more than 7.000 users.
I hope that many of these photographers will land new clients who discover their work on these sites. This is another fascinating new grassroots marketplace that joins the ranks of shareware and freeware for software, and music from unsigned bands on sites like www.garageband.com.
