In my case, there are usually three reasons:
1. Couldn't take my camera onto the plane because of security reasons
2. Couldn't be bothered to bring it onto the plane because I wanted to travel light and the camera is heavy
3. Wanted to sleep and not waste time taking photos!!

Or because their camera got stolen at the end of the trip, as is the case with the trip report that hopefully I'll finish today...

I always end up packing it only to find the battery has gone. The problem I have is that I always fly with bmi from gate 8 and apart from all the ba 319/320 thats not always that much anyway.

Are photos that essential to a Trip Report? I really don't care if the actual report has them or not; nor will I go out of my way to take photographs during my flight; my memory card is much better used capturing what I actually see when I'm going someplace rather than taking shot after shot of a DL MD-88 (hence, another reason I don't really write TRs anymore; it's gotten to the point where I could cut and paste most of my previous TRs and just change the date, cities and flight number).
They are not essential, but I think that a Trip Report looks much better with them, and you can get an idea of how that trip was, probably what was the author feeling at the time of his trip and things like that.

These are my top 3 A.net trip reports actually. So well written that I felt like I was at the plane while reading.

I've written a few trip reports without photos and I'm always happy with the response I get from fellow a.neters, so I suppose the answer is no you don't always have to have photos.
Although to be honest I will would never write a report if there wasn't a bit of a story to tell.

It's pretty embarassing for some to take pictures on a plane. Imagine from a non aviation nut's perspective... "That guy is taking a picture of his food [lol]"

My trip reports all have pics, mostly everywhere but the cabin of the aircraft. If it is a good time, I will and have take pics inside the cabin.

Well, I have only posted one trip report. The trip took place back in the mid-1950's, when I was about 8 years old. Went with my Mom from YVR-LAX via SEA. My Dad actually did have a camera, but he wasn't on the trip, busy taking pics in Europe. I think I got a Kodak Brownie when I was 10. Sorry 'bout that, I'll try and do better next time!
cheers,
AY104

I personally enjoy some reports without pics. I read almost every report. Always read crew reports regardless and if they have pics is a bonus. When crew did take pics Seven3Seven as an example he got shot down each and every time, because some people on this site are backseat drivers who cant keep their mouths shut.

Quoting FXramper (Thread starter): Why do members habitually post their reports with no pics?
Basically because I know I can write well enough and with enough detail not to require them. One of my reports I took photos, but that report is on the Airways Magazine web site http://www.airwaysmag.com/
Pictures don't make a report if it's written badly.
That said, I am going to take pictures from now on, but it's not the be all and end all. A well written report will give me a better idea than a badly written one with 400 pictures any day of the week.
I do quite enjoy a spot of flying - more so when it's not in Economy!
