Visual aids or not?

I like to bring pictures to class to make everything concrete. For example, today when I mentioned the exhibition "Machu Picchu" once held at the Field Museum in Chicago, I showed the picture of its web page to make students feel more involved in the real English world. How I wish I could use power point freely in the classroom! Every lesson would seem more insteresting.

On the other hand, do I really need to show so many pictures in class? Shouldn't I just let students imagine what's going on in the reading? Will too many visual aids deprive the students of their imagination?
