"Hey Jim. I have been thinking real hard recently on the idea of what your site exactly is. I can relate, being a designer, and needing photos from time to time, yet only to find them 'priced', and ridiculously. Simple, every day objects can be just what someone needs. I have tons of photos laying around, that someone can probably use right now. Also, I've been meaning to start taking my camera along with me everywhere, and capture those images that might be needed by others (or even myself) one day.

I just want to say 'Thanks'! I haven't picked up my old camera in a very long time, but you have given me incentive to put all my ideas in motion. Thank you for your site, and offering the separate portfolio page for contributors. I can't wait to get started! I'm so glad I found your site."
-Tracy

"Hello Jim. I work in the marketing department of a small trading company in the Netherlands. For my designs of advertisements, I often need HQ and HR images of people and interiors.

Another question is, if it would be a problem if I 'photoshopped' some images a little? Looking forward to your reply, with kindest regards."
