It's good on desktop, but when I initially looked at this article on my iPhone, the photos were much too small.

I sometimes think that the rise of mobile, and subsequent need for responsive design, is what truly killed the ideal of an internet driven by readable markup and only the most basic stylesheets.

The images are actually a bit small on desktop as well. It could definitely use a few tweaks but I still like the idea. I think a bit of minimum padding so that text doesn't touch the edge of the screen and some logic for sizing images would make this a great style.
