Yes. To see an individual image, right click on the space reserved for it and select "reload image". Images which were previously downloaded (e.g. cached from other pages or previous visits) are displayed. Download of things like style and javascript can only be avoided if they're separate files - on many pages they're inline in the HTML, so no browser can avoid the bandwidth to fetch them.
