I had tried two different approaches that just wouldn't work. I've had to add, however, an empty div with a "clear: both" after the photos to prevent the following paragraphs of text from creeping into any leftover space to the right of the photos. > As a side note I'd suggest doing your captions differently also.

I've actually put the definition for the captions as part of the definition for the image div so that it automatically formats the captions as I type without having to use a span. (I've also dropped the em tag as, at least on the Windows machines I have, italic is rendered very jaggedly even though on my old Mac it looks beautiful -- but at least 99% of the client's customers seem to be using Windows, so it's got to look good for them!) Thanks for your help!
