I've done the same (asking Flickr users if I could use their images). Although I've only asked a small handful, most have said no, but <a href="http://wpbloghost.com/blog/the-art-of-persuasion-part-1-of-3/" rel="nofollow">one did say yes</a>. Hi Keith.

The section on using creative commons search and then clicking the "most interesting" is fantastic... never would have found it myself. I've started to use Flickr for free photos since reading the Skellie article. I've also contacted various photographers who have photos on Flickr, which are not creative commons, some have allowed me to use their photos. It's always worth asking! .-= Keith Davis´s last blog ..<a href="http://easypublicspeaking.co.uk/starting-public-speaking/" rel="nofollow">easy peasy!</a> =-. Hi John

That's where I typically pull photos from for my blog, however, if we're talking about photos for a business website, Flickr probably wouldn't be the best choice. @ Theresa - I love that photo above.

I believe that is very true. I think creating a descriptive title to a photo makes certain your picture is interpreted correctly. What a great photo above, the eyes tell it all! Theresa Hi John,
