I've never been a big fan of stock photos. Really, I like to browse on flickr.com. There isn't a lot of "stock" photography, but I usually can find what I need. And a lot of the photographers CC license their stuff. You may still need to get permission, but I have never had a problem getting permission (to use images for free) from someone who uses the CC license.
