This isn't "Security By Obscurity". There are a lot of other controls in place to defend these places -- modifying the photos is only one element.
Why don't you publish your firewall configurations, routing tables, and network diagrams on your corporate website? If your infrastructure is sound and properly configured it should be able to withstand an attack even when that information is known, right?
