<!--This is a little fancier; .photo gets sized to specific width to match the photo, and uses margin: 0 auto; to center. (That trick only works if A. there's a specific width on the element being centered and B. the element being centered is smaller than its containing element/the browser window. Caption goes with it:-->
<div class="fancy-photo">
