Found this picture on a rather cool stock photo site.
The photos at Stock.XCHNG are free for most uses (with a very few money-making exceptions) and despite the suspiciously flaky URL (.hu?), the site is owned by reliable old Getty Images.
The catch is that they’re amateur photos uploaded by people simply giving their work to the world. That’s cool. But it also means that if you search on “dog” or “cat” you’ll get 50 pages of mostly undistinguished snapshots (albeit in glorious high-resolution) of people’s pets sleeping, grinning, or gazing soulfully up at the camera. Still, sometimes the old “looking up at the camera shot of Fido” … well, it just works.
Cute l’il ET, isn’t he?
The above was taken by user bluegum. Nice job, bluegum.
Doleful-looking little spud, ain’t he?
Then again, if I was a pug…
Yeah, puggitude would be tough. But the pugs I’ve known make up for it with a lot of attitude. 🙂
Another nice photo site is http://www.morguefile.com , most are free to use for any purpose.
fliteking — that’s a great site. I think the photos there are overall better than the ones on stock.EXCHNG. Good find.
