and, if a writer needs a photo with his piece, he's failed to tell the story?

This is something we get a little carried away with here from time to time.

If this were true, we'd not need writing. Time Magazine could thin up and go 
with a single photo per page. (Would they need headlines?)

A picture that carries its story is wonderful, but one that carries the 
whole story is (so far as I know) non-existent.

Our world is full of wonderful, beautiful, successful photographs that are 
improved by a caption and occasionally full-fledged, long-form writing.
