First, see the finding images tutorial.

A few places to look

 * Google Advanced Image Search -- under "Then narrow your results by:" change the item "Usage rights" so that it says "free to use, share or modify, even commercially."
 * Wikimedia Commons
 * Some Wikipedia editors maintain a list of sources which offer free copyright-free (public domain) images at Public domain image resources. The quality of these sites varies significantly, and the list is subject to frequent nonsense being added (e.g. people creating a WordPress, adding 2 photos, declaring them public domain, filling the site with ads, and trying to get people to visit), but most are good.

Uploading your own images
See User:Ryan McGrady/resources/contributing images

Uploading your own work is encouraged. For those of you working on local subjects, it may be far easier to simply take your own photo than to search for one and ask for permission.

Uploading images contains instructions for how to upload images.
