I'm not entirely sure how to use the Creative Commons.org

I can conduct a search, then select images from the google results – but how do I attribute credit to the person who created the image? and how do I find out who this person is/should be?

It definitely can get confusing.  They have an FAQ that's more like an encyclopedia too.  If you go a little more than half way down they give these 5 bullet points on how to properly attribute a Creative Commons licensed work

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ

  • If the work itself contains any copyright notices placed there by the copyright holder, you must leave those notices intact, or reproduce them in a way that is reasonable to the medium in which you are re-publishing the work.
  • Cite the author's name, screen name, user identification, etc. If you are publishing on the Internet, it is nice to link that name to the person's profile page, if such a page exists.
  • Cite the work's title or name, if such a thing exists. If you are publishing on the Internet, it is nice to link the name or title directly to the original work.
  • Cite the specific CC license the work is under. If you are publishing on the Internet, it is nice if the license citation links to the license on the CC website.
  • If you are making a derivative work or adaptation, in addition to the above, you need to identify that your work is a derivative work i.e., “This is a Finnish translation of the [original work] by [author].” or “Screenplay based on [original work] by [author].”

I use istockphotos.com a lot.  They are pretty cheap and there's a great selection to choose from.
