Free stock photo site Stock.XCHNG is the fresh catch of the day.Stock.XCHNG bills itself as the leading FREE stock photo site on the Internet. SXC was launched in February 2001 as an alternative to expensive stock photography. The objective was to develop a site where people could exchange their photos. Since then, the site has evolved into the massive community you see today with over 2 1/2 million registered users and about 400,000 photos online by more than 30.000 photographers.
Yesterday, it was announced that Stock.XCHNG has been incorporated into the Getty Images group of companies. This is not expected to change the day-to-day SXC user experience, but there will be more access to iStockphoto, another Getty Images company and one of the world's leading royalty-free stock multimedia destinations.
If you use Firefox as your browser, here's a handy little SXC search plugin you can add to it.
SXC is also a friendly community of photographers who offer their works to those who need them free of charge. If you have some nice photos that you'd like to share with others, you can do it by joining Stock.XCHNG.
