morgueFile free photos for creatives by creatives

Free!? Who doesn't love free? I'm always looking for free (both free in cost and free of licenses) images to use. Flickr can sometimes be a great resource, but so many people trying to restrict their images as well as the sheer number of images can make it really difficult to find something quick.  So I came across morgueFile, a huge data base of free images to use as you see fit* The name morgue? I'm guessing they chose that name because it's where images that weren't used in commercial designs go to "die". Though I'm sure they all find new homes rather quickly, there are A LOT of great images on this site. Did I mention they are FREE?!
