  Stock.XCHNG I really love this site. It is a fantastic source and  the largest I have come across of great free stock images. In their own words:

SXC was launched in February 2001, as an alternative for expensive stock photography. The idea was to create a site where creative people could exchange their photos for inspiration or work. In about two years the site evolved into this massive community you see now - there are over 2.500.000 registered users and around 400.000 photos online!
