Tombeau’s words are wise and pragmatic, more so than my own thoughts the first time I walked through the alley after someone had ‘vandalized’ it. I’ll miss what was once there, but it is definitely interesting to see the alley evolve.

A higher priority is to consistently deliver images of sufficient quality that readers are more consistently left with the feeling of wanting a bigger version to look at.

Although WordPress makes it straightforward to upload a larger image, which it then re-sizes for display (linking automatically to the larger file), when we tested it out, the result was images displayed in-line that we felt looked even worse than what we’re currently offering as “photography.”

It might be worth it for us to at think about not including links on images if they lead simply to the same file. There’s an expectation associated with a cursor turning into a hand over an image that there’s a better resolution image lurking somewhere. And TAAC is currently not living up to that expectation.
