I also prefer to speak without slides, or with images that don't make sense if you see them alone. After all, it's about the speaker, not the slideshow, as many others have pointed out. In a situation like that where I anticipate that people might want a "copy of my slides" afterward, I prepare a handout that contains notes, whether in bulleted form or narrative. If someone is interested enough to want to revisit my talk, I'm honored, and I'm certainly going to put in a little effort to share it with them.
