Hi Carrie!
I see your point, but, when a sighted person is looking at the picture,
they might recognize it as Valerie did, but maybe convention is best,
because of the possibility of spoiling the story, (smile).

Hi Valerie,
The convention among people who create image (or audio) descriptions
professionally is that until the person is named in the text (or movie),
you refer to the person in the picture as "young boy" or "woman" or
whatever. That way, you don't give away an information ahead of when it's
presented in the text (or movie). Make sense?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question on picture captions
If you know who is in a picture based on the story, do you identify them
by name or do you label them by sex and age like "young boy" or "woman" so
that the picture is text independent?
Often when I am proofing the second is done, but I am inclined instead to
name the person. How does everyone feel about this and what are preferences?
Thanks for your help and input!
