Of course. Sometime words can´t give the answer, but that is what they are asking for.
Remember that words are quantified, you have a fairly limited set of words to describe each emotion, while photos are continuous with thousands of nuances for each emotion, colour or tone of grey. Try to describe "grey". Let´s see, you´ve got black, white, grey, dark grey, light grey, a little more light than dark grey, slightly grey white, etc. You get problems with grey, then what about stories, emotions. Sometimes, when words get clumsy, pictures are great.
