This is my favorite free images site. Most of the images I use on this blog are from Free Digital Photos. Unlike Flickr where you can find real time and real people images. Freedigitalphotos.net has good collection of business images.

Hey Khaja,
Now a days it’s really tough to get relevant picture for our blog post. You did a great job by listing free images provider sites in Post. I am using Flickr and Freedigitalphotos. They are awesome.
I think we should also give the proper credits to the source.
