It means that there are no preconditions as to how you are to photographically interpret the term "weathered." Hint to voters: there is more than one definition in the dictionary.

I think most people will take their interpretation from 1 or 3.

I've never heard of the word used in the sense of 4. How many DNMCs will I get if I shot a picture of a window sill? lol.

It's also a verb (past tense), not just an adjective.
