Stock.xchng (http://www.sxc.hu) - This is probably the website I use the most to find images for my websites/blogs. Stock.xchng is a leading free stock photography website. You need to register on the website in order to download stock photography images. And although it has a huge pool of stock photography images, the Stock.xchng website also has nice collection of Photoshop / graphic design tutorials. Stock.xchang is now owned by Getty Images.

Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/) - I am sure I don't need to give you a long description about this website. Flickr is a highly popular photo sharing website. It is now owned by Yahoo!, so you can use your existing yahoo account to register with Flickr (one can also register on Flickr by using existing Facebook and Google account, much better!). Also, please keep a note that you'll want to do an advanced search for images which are tagged with "CC" (Creative Commons) to use them on your blog or website. Please read this link in order to understand Creative Commons (http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/)

Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) - There are over 8.5 million images in the database and all are available free of charge. One interesting thing to note is that it is available in more than 30 different languages and any one can contribute towards "Wikimedia" by uploading either an image, video or sound files.

Microsoft Image Gallery (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/) - Well known image providers like iStockphoto, Veer Images, Fotolia, iClipart etc. contribute to Microsoft Image Gallery. Apart from images, Microsoft also has a nice collection of clipart which may be useful to use in Word and PowerPoint presentations.

FreeFoto.com (http://www.freefoto.com) - Another place to search for royalty free photos. Always make sure you read the agreements carefully on what you can and can't do with the images you download.
