Keith, I think you misunderstood me. When I looked at the picture I 
*felt* certain emotions. These emotions are something that I don't 
*usually feel* when look at the photograph. Therefore I decided that I 
should mention that perhaps Frank did not intend for me to *feel* the 
emotions, but nevertheless I did feel that way.

Also, do you want it or not but when you make a photograph you mix in a 
bit of yourself and further when you show it to the public you expose 
that little bit along the way. Even the most primitive - "me and the 
Empire State Building" photo has it.

I hope I made myself clearer.

Boris
