>If there is a practice to obscure elements out of a any given picture

Ahh, but, these aren't "any given picutures", they're pictures of specific installations that have obvious value.

Besides, if you want to see what it looks like, go take a picture yourself, or hire someone to do so. It's not like they're preventing you from seeing the actual building.
