Like all images, the meaning of these images is separate, autonomous and unrelated to the original context of their making without external information like the fascinating text presented on Holdt's website, American Pictures.

Through the presentation of these images and the other images on this site, any narrative quality or meaning the images might seem to have is completely the product of the viewer's own projections onto the images and therefore is only a reflection of the viewer's own expectations, presuppositions, experiences and culture.
