We always had to spend hours trying to find the pics we really wanted. So we decided to make our own site- the exact one we really kept searching for. So now there IS going to be a site that ONLY has free pictures, and every one will be available for commercial use.

That right (to use a picture free, for commercial use), is only given away through a Creative Commons License. In most cases, the photographer requires an honorable mention, or a link back to their website or portfolio. Fair enough. If we can help some up and coming photographers get some publicity, all the better. After all, we do wish them success.
