I just finished working in PS on a picture of a house's foundation 
amongst a field of rubble. And I decided, just as you suggest here, 
that I need to put some sort of caption with each photo. Since this 
is more like photodocumentary than art, I don't feel that it will 
appear amateurish. Today, I shot some pictures in a few churches 
(there must be at least 100 Baptist churches in the Lower 9th 
Ward...one block had 3 of them), and I think that I may need to 
caption some of those.

You and I are thinking on the same plane. :-)
