Hi Scott, thanks for looking into this. I think the theme's approach is to center the text area, but then put images with a right alignment all the way over toward the right margin within the parameters of the given screen width. Looking at your screenshot again, I think there is equal distance on the left and right of the text; it's just that the left is white space and the right has a photo.

I see both sides of this, and I'll be curious what Sara thinks. I don't mind a bit of asymmetry here myself, and I like how the theme allows the photo more space on the side without cutting into the text block, especially on smaller screens. And generally, I think the asymmetry is not very pronounced on a decent majority of screens, so perhaps that makes it easier to stick with this approach for a small number of larger screens.

There may also be a somewhat simple hack to make this less pronounced only on larger screens, but I'll hold off for more design input before exploring that.
