Thought I would start keeping a collection of links to places where design impaired developers (like myself) can get hold of graphics, icons and textures to spiff up their applications.
Photography:
- MyDeskCity - Collection of beautiful large images. Seems to be a bunch of different stuff in here but they all seem high quality.
- stock.xchng - Very good site with many quality royalty-free images.
- jupiterimages - Another great location of royalty-free images; site is also developed in .NET :)

- Foood's Icons - Great site with some very lovely icons... one of my favourites
- Glyfx - This site provides a limited range of free icons for tooblars, however, they promise to provide more. Having said that, if you are willing to pay some dollars they have some nice lookng Icons.
- Miranda Instant Messenger - If you are looking for small IM icons then this may very well be your place.
