Yesterday I learned about the work of Jakob Nielsen. He did a study which showed that people often ignore online generic images, so it is usually better to add original photography. Below is a link to an article about this. My experience has been that when a blogger uses the same image over and over again, it alerts me to the fact that he/she is trying to establish a certain mood. Anyway, some food for thought.
