- Every photo MUST have a caption.
- Not every caption needs to be long. Sometimes the only thing to say about a photo is the person's name and grade. There is nothing wrong with Ident captions at least they identify the person in the picture. Make absolutely sure that when you do identify them, that you use both first and last name and then don't forget to index that page.
- Joke captions are not appropriate. Humor is extremely difficult to convey in writing. A joke caption is often one in which the writer has no information about what is actually happening in the photo so they try to say something funny. Also, there are numerous libel lawsuits that have resulted from what are known as "false light" captions. Those are ones where you imply that something is going on in the photo that may or may not actually have happened.
- "No, Duh" captions are a waste of time. If all you have to say is "Joe Schmoe looks at the camera," you might as well just type his name. Why state the obvious?
- Captions should give accurate, relevant information.
