HT2242 - Photography, a Verbal Art Medium

We photographers like to think of photography as a nonverbal medium. Then why do we title our prints? Why does someone look at a sunset and think " beautiful"? When showing our work, why do we feel compelled to tell viewers where it was photographed and when? Is photography really a nonverbal medium, or is it a medium that is often supplemented with words? If we don't need words, why are photography books from other languages translated into our language for publication?
