The student I wrote of yesterday had, among her inspirations, a photographer on Flickr who is one of the best I've ever seen. A lot of the photography kids now talk about 'omnia' and search out her photos. Whether it's nature or the world around, her lens is the most marvellous 'eye' to share through her images. Take a look here. She's an Australian, although travelling in Asia at present. Don't miss her images of plants and leaves, or the shells/beach/sand ones.
Flickr is an excellent image source option for students. The ability to search on groups (photos with a common theme) or tags (which the photographers have put on their photos themselves) means you can search on colour, or content, or so many other options.
You don't have to belong to see public images (which millions of them are).
Just remember to remind the students to acknowledge their sources. Every photo can be identified by an individual url.
