Are you a digital photographer? Like to bring your camera wherever you go and snap like crazy? Why not enter the world of buying and selling your stock photos?
Lucky Oliver is a community of photographers, designers and artists who all buy and sell stock photos. The images and illustrations in Lucky Oliver are high enough quality for both web and print work, and are pretty affordable and starting at only $1.00. For people interested in submitting images to the image portfolio, there is a photographer's guide on what type of images the team is looking to sell. Photographers have to prove themselves to get started in the system by submitting their three best photos. When they are in the system though, royalties can be range from $0.30 to over $12.50 per use.
No more stealing images from Google for projects, this is an affordable way to get the job done without breaking the bank on high priced stock photos.

Or try the Stock Photos section at The3dStudio.com where many are free to use and the rest are royalty free after purchase: http://www.the3dstudio.com/product_search.aspx?id_category_0=290

http://sxc.hu - the stock exchange is the best royalty free stock resource I know and I've been around a fair while. Check it out, it's awesome.

Thanks for the excellent tip and the links in here. I'm not really an advocate of stock photography since most websites just use them as fillers, but from time to time it has it's real uses. The prices on Lucky Oliver look reasonable also, so it's probably a good site to check for photos. I'm just wondering what kind of name "Lucky Oliver" is for a more or less serious business-site... ;)

Just to follow up to earlier comments - sxc.hu is nice but there is not much high-quality stuff on there. For example, I found more photos with a high-key background on the first page of a random luckyoliver search than I can in five pages of sxc.hu results.
There are other sites out there that either have expensive photos or useless search/browse engines.
For someone like me who occasionally buys cheap stock but needs reasonably high quality, istockphoto.com is the best (because of the large high-quality library and great search/browse engine), and now luckyoliver.com (decent photo quality, decent search engine, and nice idea).
