If I was to answer this your way, Shel, I would also begin with "Well,
Frank, ...". But I have no shame of discussing photography with people
I do not agree with, or whose lines of thought I do not understand.

With regards to having intent or meaning spelled out, there are photos
in this world that can stand alone without any words accompanying
them, and still convey meaning and intent across cultural, ethnic,
political, or any other psychological barrier. You have, on occasion,
shown good examples of that yourself. The shot in question is not
among them. What it may mean to people with anglo-american background
escapes me, I'm sorry.

I'm genuinely surprised that a man of your abilities needs a
definition of "context" spelled out for him.
