Being a visual learner I often find myself constructing images (photos, graphs, verbal pictures, etc.) to explain things. \u00a0This is especially true when I put together presentation slides, whether they are for research conferences or the classes that I’m teaching.<\/p>\n
My personal collection of digital photographs can only take me so far, however, so when I need free digital photographs and images for use in creative\/scholarly projects I go to morgueFile<\/a>.<\/p>\n I first learned about morgueFile about a year ago through my talented journalist\/scholar\/teacher friend, Peg. \u00a0I have been using it ever since. \u00a0It has a large and constantly growing collection of high-quality digital photographs. \u00a0You can use keywords to search through\u00a0the photo archive, a useful feature that distinguishes the site from other archives. \u00a0(Note that photos seem to be tagged in multiple languages. \u00a0A search for “chat” turned up pictures of people speaking to one another as well as numerous cute cats.)<\/em> \u00a0Best of all, you can register<\/a> with morgueFile to contribute your own\u00a0photos to the archive, which is perhaps the best possible way of repaying the morgueFile community<\/a> for free use of their materials.<\/p>\n In terms of acknowledging the morgueFile photographers’ images, include a byline underneath each one that states “Photo by [name], morgueFile.”<\/p>\n Where do you go for free use images?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Being a visual learner I often find myself constructing images (photos, graphs, verbal pictures, etc.) to explain things. \u00a0This is especially true when I put together presentation slides, whether they are for research conferences or the classes that I’m teaching.
