Throughout this process, I'd been talking to my co-workers about what was happening. I told them that I'd been asked to take their photos down and that, while I wasn't going to take my photos down, I thought they should be the ones to decide whether they would take theirs down or not. Almost everyone left their picture on the partition.

Also, I began to learn from co-workers who travelled more widely in our workplace that there were bulletin boards with employee photographs in departments throughout the hospital. In some cases, the manager had provided the bulletin board, believing (and rightly so) that this sort of thing creates a sense of "family" in a workplace.

I went on "field trips" to the sites my co-workers described and photographed the bulletin boards and other non-work-related postings they reported. The photo above is of a poster that had been on "our" partition (and was thus a "no-no") but could also be found in the public entrance to the Plaza. It advertises a garden tour sponsored by parents as a fundraiser for their children's school, and could, in fact, be seen in many locations throughout the hospital and Plaza.
