Thank you, so glad to know alt text helps!
Writing alt text also helps me as a photographer by making me think about an image in ways I wouldn't otherwise. What are the most important visual aspects of the photo? Subject, of course, but what would I like someone else to notice? Colors, shapes, composition, lighting? I, too, often read and appreciate alt text for the information not otherwise included in the post.
