Guidelines for Pictorial Contributions:

Each picture will need a caption. Who, what, why, where and when is a good place to start when gathering information for the caption, but where possible quotes from those pictured and a description of how you are feeling will help bring the essay to life. We don't need many words - no more than 40 per picture.
