an experiment in ALT
Sunday, 16. September 2007, 20:02:48
this week, after a month of server monkeys throwing wrenches into my attempts to upload new photographs, i created a new photo album, entitled an experiment in ALT, which contains pictures named by me as they were described to me by the person who took them....
so, what's the point? i am attempting to ascertain if i have provided "meaningful" file-names, pseudo-alt text, and a thumbnail long description which matches the brief descriptions i was given of the photos when they were downloaded by the photographer to my hard drive...
where do you come in? well, does the pseudo-alt text and "meaningful" file-names help you make sense of the pictures if you cannot see them, or are using a text-based browser? my descriptions are woefully inadequate, based on only enough information to name the photos, so i am interested in what it is that you see? what words would you use as an alternative text equivalent for the image? what would you add to my thumbnail long descriptions?

The fact that mostof them have additional description via the comments is good, too.
