Photo Pin is a new website offering images that can be re-used for blog entries, video productions, slideshows, and print media.

The search results page on Photo Pin clearly delineates between images that are free to use and images that you have to purchase. Applications for Education If you're looking for a new way to find Creative Commons-licensed images for yourself or your students, Photo Pin could be a good option for you.
