Because of my name I tend to decorate some screens of my programs with images
of NZ birds.
While it is easy to find images on the web via Google Image search, finding
images that I can use without worry of copyright is not so easy.
If I can I find the original photographer and ask permission, professional
photographers or artists tend to say “No”, those without fancy websites are
almost impossible to contact and are more likely to not mind. (eg travellers
blogs etc).
Some photos are marked as Wikimedia Commons, which means should be fine.
The irony is that Google Image search allows one to now upload a picture and
find the matches on the web, excellent for finding the original site for it (I
have noticed a lot of these images appearing elsewhere as well without credit
as to their origin).
What do others do to find art or images?
