Wouldn't it enhance the FT experience to be able to see those photos here on FT
I disagree. I find inline photos on sites like, eg, sqtalk, distracting and interfering with the flow. It seems to me that you are underestimating the temptation of posting 15 photos of airline XX lounge at ZZZ or the new livery of airline YY or the arrival of the new Airbus A380 in the fleet of airline UU, etc... Fters who feel compelled to share photos can do it very easily by posting a link to a photosharing site or a blog.
