I admit it. 99% of the photos you see on my blog are ripped off from free photo websites. But are they really
really free? Yeah, websites like
Pixabay or
MorgueFile or
Stock.xchng say they are, but if a lawyer with big guns really wanted to shoot down my little balloon, technically, and with a lot of money, he theoretically could. Not that I'm worth the latex shreds that would be left behind, nor do I lay awake at night worrying about such an event coming to pass.
But if you're the nail-chewing oh-my-goodness type that hyperventilates over the thought of an EMP bomb detonating over the roof of your house, have I found a worry-free site for you!
Unsplash provides 10 pictures every 10 days directly to your inbox. Or you could go to their site and mosey around if you've got nothing better to do. These are seriously can't-argue-with-it airtight not-even-kidding kinds of free photos for anyone to use.
Unsplash.com hosts images whose creators have waived ALL rights the laws allow to be waived. The variety is fantastic. The organization and bells and whistles on the site, not so much. Still, if your camera is shoddy or you don't have a photographic eye, go ahead and use Unsplash.
It will free you up to worry about something else.
