PHoto upload from various other sources ===================================
PD - Public Domain, and Creative Commons probably come from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
ie they have lots of photos
 like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rafi_K-_July_15th_2007.jpg 
- This is public domain so should be credited: 
Public Domain 

However, other photos (that may also be public domain) should be credited to the site from which they came, ie: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bush_-_2nd_inauguration.jpg 
- Under the photo is a link to Source:[1] 
Which goes to : 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/01/images/20050120-1_3-p44290-376-515h.html 

-- So the correct credit for the above photo is White House/Susan Sterner NOT 'Public Domain' 


Other photo sources are below: 

below are some sites that you can find photos to use. 
Remember to check that a photo has not already been added to the DB by someone else.

Also if a photo is old, add 'file' to the end of the credit, ie UN file. 
It is possible that you will find some photos credited to commercial agencies (AP, Reuters, AFP etc..), on the pages below -- NB If you find such an image, do not use it.
