If you wish to use images licensed with Creative Commons, you must credit the creator in the manner they specify. Since many artists don’t specify, check this article for how to attribute.

The Most Recommended Free Image Sites and
Where to Find Images for Blogs and Social Media – Free and Legal!
If all this sounds like too much hassle, you can try my two favorite sources for low cost photos: Fotolia and Dreamstime. You buy a pack of credits (currently under $25 at either) and apply them towards your photo purchases. The sites offer robust search tools, and no worries about attribution.
With any of these sites, free or paid, you may not resell the images, or use them as the primary value on something for sale, like a T-shirt. Always check!
