A strategy:

• For each image file you can have a text file in the same folder describing the image.

• The text file for zzzz.jpg (.gif, etc.) should be named zzzz.txt or zzzz.htm (or .html), the HTML versions supporting formatted text, links, etc.

• It should be possible to print out an image and its descriptive text on a single sheet of paper.

• Each image folder should have several files which announce this strategy: for example, readme.txt, readme.htm, and index.htm.

• This strategy can also be used for other media, like sound clips, video clips.
