Similar in 'ays. here$s some ne' thins that are interestin.

he search seems a little more creati(e. You kno' the # kno' some sites ha(e search !y

# &on$t kno' i+ #$& use that !ut ust it$s kin& o+ out o+ the !o? thinkin a little !it 'hich is
interestin. hich is 'hat # think o+ Flickr. # think o+ Flickr as the alternati(e to
tra&itional stock so it kin& o+ oes alon 'ith the !ran& in my min&.
# think # et more o+ an artsy +eelin +rom it 'hich # assume they$re tryin to con(ey !utthat$s 'hich is not a !a& thin $cause in most cases # think most people are tire& o+ the
usual stock +eelin that you$re ettin +rom the tra&itional stock sites so this seems as
thouh it miht i(e you some other options.
#+ you ha& another resource.
)hat a(o$t it seems like that9 )hat i*es %o$ the ,eelin o, +i,,erent stock9
he !lack. For me the :or!is is the !lack look an& most o+ them # think are 'hite sites.So :or!is stan&s out to me in that 'ay !ut it$s ust still (ery !o?y an& horsey an& ust notas eleantly &one as this one. here$s &e+initely that artistic +eel an& that 'hole lasso-in.
hat can only 'ork 'hen the imaes are nicer $cause i+ you think a!out some o+ the

# mean no' it ust &epen&s. # mean #$m pro an& con on Flickr an& mostly it$s ust +roma practical stan&point 'hich is # can$t al'ays use one o+ those imaes +rom someone$s
