@[url=https://disabled.social/@raphaelmorgan]Morgan ⚧️[/url] I've spent two full days describing one image.

I feel bad when I can't describe something in an image the way I'd like to see myself describe it.

I keep coming across scenes that I think might make for nice pictures. But then I start trying to describe them in my head. And when I discover something that I can't properly describe, I don't even take the picture. I couldn't post it anyway without a description that's up to my standards.

I refuse to post images with realistic-looking buildings in them due to how complex they are to describe. After all, I'd have to first research architectural terminology and then explain it to my readers in the long image description.

A bit over a year ago, while working on an image description which, the next day (!), would [url=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/item/8c2b4728-dda5-498b-9f84-2f11e163a4a5]end at over 38,000 characters[/url], I realised that I had to describe three pictures of stellar nebulae. I didn't even really know how. I was about to abandon the whole image-posting project due to this. What I've eventually written still feels like a sub-par kludge, not to mention outdated a few times over.

I've read about people going back and alt-texting their entire backlog of image posts. I've wondered a few times if it is or should be recommended to go back and edit and improve your old image descriptions after you've learned something new in terms of describing images.

What do you think, is this genuine or not?

And seriously, I don't even know whom exactly I'm doing all this for because I almost never get any feedback in any form. I do it for whoever comes across one of my image posts. Since my new channel for original images (which I do these monstrous descriptions for) has only got nine followers, and my channel for Fediverse memes (which at least tend to come with extensive explanations) has only seven, it has to be a very rare occurrence that someone who really needs an image description finds one of my image posts.

But I guess the ultimate solution is to forget about "[url=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/item/1e506e18-13c5-4bfb-aea9-c626e96a619c]Nothing About Us Without Us[/url]" and do what I think is right until too many people come complaining. Which will probably amount to indefinitely.
