Here’s a great wallpaper image resource

Published on March 18th, 2007

Leaf and raindrops

I’ve meant to tell you about this for a while now. It’s a nice wallpaper image resource, called Socksoff.co.uk.

Taken from the site, “Socksoff is a personal, non-commercial site, no pop-ups, pop-unders, banners or those pesky little ad’s that float across the screen…….Grrrrr!!! It first went live on 12th June 2004 with just a small collection of links, and has grown into what it is today, still a small collection of links.”

A small collection of links it may be, but I appreciate the Socksoff wallpaper collection and thank the owner for piecing it together.

A while back I wrote a short article about other free stock photo resources I like to use (when dedicated photography isn’t an option).

Where do you find images for your own projects?

    They are an awesome resource for pictures. They are so sharp and colorful. Thanks for posting them. I have to admit I use dreamstime a lot for some of my designs.

    Glad you like it Dinner.

    James, I know that the Dreamstime photo gallery is a popular one. I haven’t used it personally. There are just so many catalogues around.

    The vast majority of stock photos are too cheesey for my liking, but if you search enough there are some truly stunning shots available.

    At first glance that looks like a decent site, ilker.

    They seem to take quite a lot of their images off Flickr. I wonder if it’s legit? The question comes up because of all the advertising they include on the front page.

    Perhaps it’s fine as they link through to the owner’s Flickr page. I’ll have to take a closer look when I get a chance.

    Thanks for the heads up!
