If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera.” ~Lewis Hine Do you agree or disagree with this quote? Why?

Words and images often balance each other out in story telling. There are times when using photographic images to tell a story are more effective than using words, and vice versa.  Sometimes the story can only be understood when the very scene is capture in an image. Or perhaps the very emotions may be conveyed through the lighting, or expressions of the subjects.  Somtimes the story can only be understood when words accompany the image.  However, i find that it is interesting to present an image and ask for a reaction before any words are used.  The power of an image is not something to be ignored, even if the reaction is "wrong" i feel that what the viewers feel and think may contribute greatly to "the story" of the piece.
