I think as long as you know who it is in the picture it is appropriate to name them, as long as the first time you give a description of the person.

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!
