I recently sent my mother a photo of my daughter in front of a some giraffes at the zoo. The photo said everything so that I didnt have to. We went to the zoo, my daughter loved the giraffes etc... It's an easy way to say a lot in a way that is often more emotionally charged than a written description. I'm not sure that photos are going to eliminate words in communications but "photos" must be cutting in to "words" territory. -it did at the zoo.
It's worth mentioning how much a photo has changed recently. A digital photo carries with it a time stamp and often gps coordinates of where it was taken. That's a whole lot more information than before. Perhaps a picture is now worth more than 1000 words?
