Yeah, the image is what you make of it. Good or bad. a very good photo and obviously provacative...but like most, it takes advantage of your preconceptions, plays on them, and likely confirms them... It's the rare photo that really challenges, and then changes your preconceptions. I feel that this one's success ultimately depends on collective various preconceptions/stereotypes...I doubt that BD would have been so happy he had a camera, if it showed Ms Anyone holding a book that said CIA... in fact BD, would you, in that case, have noticed the book..?
