No magic solution here, there's still the question of how big to make 
the cells. If the dimensions of the pics are known, the element that 
contains them can be dimensioned to suit and the text can be confined 
to the width of the element. The element could be a TD in a table or 
it could be a DIV or any number of other elements without a table.

The text does not *have* to be confined to the width of the picture. 
It could be in an element of its own and dimensioned to be a guessed 
reasonable percentage of the viewport and centred. All depends on the 
project, whether there are many pictures, whether they are similar in 
size, or even aspect ratio.

The one good thing about tables is the shrink-to-fit quality of the 
cells but in this case it hardly helps if the text is so long that it 
stretches the cells (you see, it's really spring-to-fit because it 
will also expand to fit!). And, besides, there are ways to get the 
shrink to fit quality outside tables.
