  1. Hi!

    Thank you so much for adding Kaboompics to your list! I’m very happy about it!

    I think that is little mistake, because you’ve got wrong Twitter account of Kaboompics 🙂 Correct is @kaboompics not @stokpic

    Have a great day!
    Karolina

  2. Passel.co

    Passel aggregates high-quality free stock photos from 25+ sources and has a collection of 4000+ images (increasing everyday), crowd-tagged by designers. You can easily search for whatever you are looking for.

  3. Edgars Novikovs: For designers it is difficult to get diverse high quality images. These links are surely very helpful to them.

  4. Wow…what a list! Just what I was looking for. Thanks for compiling the lists and sharing it out to the Design Community. 🙂

  5. Hooks, nice list!
