Question: ```
<img src=“…/images/adam_photo.jpg” alt=“don't_print_this_damnit” />

```

Displays “don't\_print\_this\_damnit”

web file located: 

```
file:///Users/Adam/Documents/adam_webfolder/adam_webfile.html

```

image located: 

```
file:///Users/Adam/Documents/adam_webfolder/images/adam_photo.jpg

```

I don't understand why this isn't working.

Answer: 
try

```
<img src="images/adam_photo.jpg" alt="dont_print_this_damnit" />

```

you have accidentally entered three periods "." in ".../images".

Two periods means go up one directory and one period means current directory
Try do do this: 

```
<img src=“your path/images/adam_photo.jpg” alt=“dont_print_this_damnit” />

```

or maybe this? no dots if that is your exact path then this will work:

```
    <img src=“/images/adam_photo.jpg” alt=“dont_print_this_damnit” />

```

Also try:

```
<img src=“./images/adam_photo.jpg” alt=“dont_print_this_damnit” />

```

Or:

```
    <img src=“images/adam_photo.jpg” alt=“dont_print_this_damnit” />

```

edit:
=====

You get this because you dont have on local disk, it will return alt because image is not found! your image in the correct place you cant get the image from a file. your code may really be working just not found immage!
do this!

```
 <img src="file:///Users/Adam/Documents/adam_webfolder/images/adam_photo.jpg
" alt="dont_print_this_damnit" />

```

it may have also been with your quotes!
