Tag your darn photos, PRETTY PLEASE

RantWoman is processing email exhorting her to please come retrieve the object d'art she contributed to the An Expression of Touch tactile art show at the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library

Here's the problem. There is a nice link to photos from the opening reception. http://www.wtbbl.org/patronartgallery.aspx Thanks to modern technology for "blowing things up" RantWoman can even tell there are some images of herself, which does not mean you get to see them here.

RantWoman finds herself wondering whether she would get the interface better if she read the documentation about up-to-date features in her screen reader. But what RantWoman is really, really, really having problems about is that the photos also have imaginative titles referring to some number in a sequence, not imaginative titles offering modest descriptions. RantWoman is going to have to find a way to say as politely as possible, HELLO. This is the Library for the BLIND. Is it TOO DANG MUCH to ask that the website at the Library for the BLIND tag its photos the way all accessible websites are supposed to?

RantWoman's life is just overflowing with opportunities for similar RantWoman moments! RantWoman is SO richly blessed.

RantWoman is not just being altruistic. RantWoman is shamelessly in search of some digital images of herself for different contexts and would use one of the ones here if it were reasonably tagged.

RantWoman supposes as a public service she can rephrase her rant in terms of her ADA FAQ tag: why the heck do BLIND people care whether photos are tagged?

That would be the POINT. Sometimes we want to find something and send it off to our relatives or link correctly to some other purpose. Plus, although the reading option could be turned off, untagged photos just sound really stupid when their default long number tags are read through a screen reader.
