The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Execute — do the immediate task

I need the attached photos captioned for the gallery submission to the municipal arts office. Caption each image with the location, subject, camera and lens used, and a single-sentence mood line suitable for a public catalog. Send captions to me and to Claire in curatorial by Thursday so we can include them in the packet.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before these go to the municipal arts office, make the captions easy for a non-photographer judge to scan. Put location and subject first, list camera and lens on the second line, then a one-sentence mood line that explains why this shot matters. Flag any captions that use jargon or are longer than 20 words.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I finished captions but Claire said several feel 'too technical'.

I just captioned the ten gallery photos and sent a draft to Claire; she replied that several read as 'too technical' and may confuse the jurors. I am the photographer submitting work, Claire is the curator deciding what stays. I am afraid simplifying will lose the technical credit and alienate judges who notice craft. I cannot tell whether the jurors actually want technical detail. What is the likely diagnosis and the best next move?

Repeatedly rewriting captions after curator notes.

Every show cycle I rewrite captions three times after feedback, losing hours and missing internal deadlines. I want a stable habit so captions are accurate, legible to jurors, and approved first pass. What editing ritual or caption template should I adopt to cut rework and keep both technical and public audiences satisfied?

Where the evidence lives

Who was seen doing this, and what people really ask.

Software tasks in the LLOS Work Atlas come from evidence, never a feature list: careers attested to do the work, real job descriptions, and the questions people actually ask (with their view counts). Facets — feature, workflow, troubleshoot, administer, deploy, scale — are open metadata: the work decides, not a taxonomy.
