“If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.” ~Lewis Hine.
I agree that there are often situations in which photographs can tell a story better than any other medium. Photographs reveal emotions and details that can be difficult to describe. Pictures can give people a better understanding of people, events, and places that they might be unfamiliar with. On the other hand, words are better at telling stories that contain a lot of data and statistics. They can also give proper context to photographs so that the story can be properly understood. While people may interpret photos differently, a combination of words and images can provide a more complete story than either would be able to alone.
