I often have projects for print and the web that need a photo or two, but the client doesn't have a budget for pro or stock photography. Or I just need to try out some cool textures to layer into an illustration layout.
A super resource that I've come to rely on is Stock.Xchng -- a free stock photography and illustration sharing site. True, the selection and quality overall isn't as high as most of the paid stock photo sites, but more often than not I find an image that's perfect for what I'm working on... and you can't beat the price!
And if you like to dabble in photography or illustration, it's fun to upload some images and track how many times they're downloaded all over the world, and what sort of comments people post. (if you search hard enough, you might even find a few by yours truly...!)
I think it's also cool to have a place where creative folks can share some of our work and help each other out -- not just focus on making money.
