Google image search

I hate it with a passion! Anyone know of a good image search engine?

I use Flickr sometimes but try these:

http://elzr.com/imagery
http://www.picsearch.com/index.cgi

Hope that helps!

OK, that elzr.com search? Fantastic. Each and every image fit the criteria. (It sucks that a lot of them are from istockphoto!) picsearch lso gave me images of cats, women and dogs looking out windows instead of men, but it might do. Thank you!

I would suggest that if you have a few friends who use stock photos a lot, to maybe split a membership amongst you because they can be expensive (but useful). Have you ever tried cooliris? There is also an app for Firefox (if you use it).

It breaks down a google search into images only and parades them on an endless 3d wall which can be helpful if you prefer to browse (like I do) through actual pics rather than thumbnails. Good luck! :)

I don't know of anyone else who does wallpapers; most Mag7 people make icons. I usually rely on my screencaps, sxc.hu and textures from texturize and hgx, but this piece called for some very specific photos.

I'm afraid I had to disable Cooliris! I was getting too distracted by it. :) I might have to try it again later. Thank you for all the pointers!
