## Watch out

- More solo photographs make the real person: three gave a plausible stranger, eight gave the person. Never a group photo. (measured; Director Chair field notes on image prompting)
- The layout template leaks its own person; put it last with a take-nothing-else-from-it line. (measured; Director Chair field notes on image prompting)
