<p>If you put the description of the photo as given by the attorney or the witness, you're not really interpreting what's in the photo, just using their interpretation as a description. I'm comfortable doing that. But if no one describes what's in the photo, "Color photograph" and a Bates number should suffice.</p>

<p>I don't remember what I was taught in school, it was a reporter/agency owner who wanted the reporters to do it that way, so I just automatically do it. There were a lot of things she liked a certain way, which I no longer do. It seems like there is not right or wrong answers (most of the times), it just depends on your own personal style. For instance, if a letter with attachments was marked as an exhibit with Bates stamp numbers, I had to do it: 6-page 12/12/12 letter to so-and-so from…</p>

<p>I just put either black and white or color photocopy (if it's a copy) or black and white or color photograph and maybe a simple description like "accident scene" or "intersection" or "vehicle". But that's it. If there's several shots of a damaged vehicle, I will just keep using the same description for all of them,<br/> "copy of vehicle."</p>

<p>When the attorney describes the photo in the transcript, I put the exact description on my index page, or if it's a picture of a car I put "Color photograph of vehicle." That's how I was taught when I was a new reporter.</p>

<p>I would just put in things like "photocopy of photograph" or "photograph" or "color photograph," not an interpretation of what is in the photograph.</p>
