Online Stock Photography:
There
are two kinds of online photography available: royalty-free
and rights-managed. When you purchase a royalty-free image,
you can use it anytime you want. Rights-managed photos are
one-time use, and varies in price (usually more expensive).
These are the ones I used the most, but just type in your
browser "stock photography" and other websites will
pop up.www.dreamstime.com (varies from $1-$10, depending on size)
