Sometimes you might want to whip up a quickie postcard for an event.  Or perhaps you want a fun graphic to add to your website for a sale.  Hiring a professional photographer or designer can be expensive for these one-off, short-term needs.  Getty images tends to be pricey – so i was happy to find istockphoto!  believe me – once you start browsing for an image – you’ll feel inspiration seep into your brain.  it’s pretty addicting – and very reasonably priced.

they also offer sound and video for you online mavens…

keep your favorites organized by setting up lightboxes (ie:  you could set up one for Holiday graphics, sale graphics, cute ideas for t-shirts, etc).  it’s easy and free!
