IMAGE RESOURCE LINKS 

Most of the photographs and graphics found on the web are protected by copyright laws. I have listed some photograph and graphic sites that have royalty-free stock photographs and graphics that can be used for non-commercial use. Please remember these graphics cannot be used to make money. You may want to read the information at each site to see what restrictions are posted.

Another Photographic Resource I like is...

• Flickr - while I do enjoy this site because it offers photographs/images that are copyright free (use the advanced search), please be aware that inappropriate content could also be accessed from this site.  I do not recommend the resource for general student use.
