Stock Exchange: Free Photo Site

stock.xchng is a site with free photos that can be searched. By and large they are fairly good “office” quality – suitable for illustrating points in PowerPoint. I just went through grabbing images to put together an essay for students on working in groups in the workplace. The semiotics of stock images is interesting – search for “office” and ask yourself about the images available. Can you tell the difference between different office cultures? Do offices really look like that? Why are there so many images of simple office supplies like pencils and so few of messy desks? This link came from Audrey.
