Using Flickr images for free

Finding free images for use on your Web site, blog or design project can be a real pain. You could turn to some of the free stock photo sites out there. Some are pretty decent, but most of the images have a distinct "stock photography" look about them. Instead, try using images from Flickr.

Here's how you can use Flickr images for free, without depriving the photographer of the credit he/she deserves.

There are plenty of tech-related images on the web, but Flickr is fantastic for general imagery.
