Stock photo sites are an editor's best friend, offering HD images in oddly specific detail. Like, if you need a photo of a woman being crushed by giant cowboy boots or a kid with a mouthful of french fries holding a pistol to his head. Just imagine what the photographer was saying as he snapped those winners.
