I hope this hasn't come up before. I did a quick search and I didn't find it, so I thought I'd post. If you are looking for graphic elements for designing your site, I think this is a fairly cool place. This is what they have to say:

QUOTE
Stock.XCHNG was launched in February 2001, as an alternative for expensive stock photography. The idea was to create a site where creative people could exchange their photos for inspiration or work. In about two years the site evolved into this massive community you see now - there are about 200.000 registered users and more than 100.000 photos online!


I think I would recommend this site to those -
* who are looking for graphics to enhance their website, and are not happy with the standard "free backgrounds" and "unlimited free clipart" sites, and do not have the time to create graphics of their own.

*who are amateur photographers and would like to share their work with a fairly active community of fellow photographers.

The CONS:

-- Some photos require that you contact the photographer for permission - although this does not mean that you will have to spend money, it might take time. However, most photographs have no usage restrictions.

-- You need to sign up for a (free) account before you can download the full-size photographs.

-- You may not find exactly what you're looking for, because it's an user-built database. However, their search engine is reasonably good, and chances are that you will stumble upon what you want, even if it might take browsing through photos that don't interest you.

Hope this is useful!

I have just had a look at this site and i does have some very good quality photos on it. You do have to create a free account, although this is quick and easy. I am yet to find an image I want to use that has any restrictions placed upon it.
