Photo Collage - Caption each picture with date and location OR the whole collage?

[devusr 41]

When making a photo collage for my CR1 application, should I caption each picture with the date and location or the collage as a whole?

 

I will be submitting a total of about 8 pages with 6-8 photos  on each page that happened on the same day. The problem is, some of the photos are from different locations. How should I handle this?

Not sure a photo collage is critical

Wife (beneficiary) is in Sri Lanka. I already have great evidence but I see that some people still got RFEs (even with some photos submitted).

For CR1 that would be unusual

 

If you think it helps your case then location and date and people present would probably suffice

50 photos is overkill......

It does not really matter.  I think labeling each picture is the simplest way.

For each picture, do I need to keep starting the caption with "My Full Name (Petitioner) and My Wife's Full Name (Beneficiary)...." or can I just say "My first name and My wife's first name....." (note: no indication of petitioner or beneficiary)

Also, how should I speak? First person or third person? "My name took My name's parents to the hotel and then My name and My name's parents went...."

Stop worrying about these details. Think about newspaper pictures legends, just say name(s), location, activity (if relevant). 

It's not a literature or creative writing exam.  K.I.S.S. method you know?

We submitted a few pages of photos "collage style".  We kind of made clusters of small overlapping photos that highlighted ways we had spent time together at different times and places and shared common activities.  Or marriage photos or family photos.  Where I felt captions would be helpful I just typed them over the pictures in contrasting fonts.  Like colored fonts with a different outline.  It made for a few pages with ALLOT of information that a stranger could get a positive impression of in about 5 second glancing at it.
