Image via Wikipedia

So I come across a image of Jesse Owens I wanted to use on the web. So I said lets get this image (in the hype of the Olympics and all). So I checked out the price on Gettyimages to see. I was expecting for it to cost. I found out it coast $50.00, for what I wanted to use it for, and I could only use it up to 3 months. Well that was a drag. Well for old pictures like this I could just use sites like Wikipedia to find pictures in the public domain. This one to the right is in public domain. But I still wanted to use the picture I found, and not at the price or time limit. So I jumped on to picapp.com. This site buys the images from places like Gettyimages.com, and allow you to embed them on your blog or website for free. Of course you do have to have a ad with it, a drag but its free. You can also get really resent images to once from that day for example. Take a look below for a samples. (If you see a small image below click on it)
