I have been browsing photos on this Silent Sunday morning and viewing the ALT text that most of you are including for those who are visually impaired or blind. One might even call that text artistic prose, when it is done wIth great attention to detail. Reading it enhances photographs even for me, a sighted person, by calling my attention to details I might have otherwise not appreciated. So, thank you to those photographers who take the time to do a nice job with ALT text.
"Prose is art. The way a writer uses language to tell a story. It lacks formality yet requires attention to detail. Writers manipulate the structure of sentences to elicit an emotional response from their readers. When a writer tells a story in ordinary, everyday language they are giving you their best in prose."

I am also imagining a photo without ALT text from the perspective of a person who cannot see it, like a black box or empty space. By reading the good work of others, I am trying to get inspired to do better with ALT text descriptions when I share my own photos: Writing prose, painting a picture with words, creating an emotional response.
