It is unclear whether the ethnographer took the photograph or found it. The notable factors are the specific times/days listed on the sign, the color of the sign (pink), the specific boundaries listed, the fact that the photo appears to have been taken at night. All of these factors convey an eerie feel to the photo, one that has the potential for propagating horrific violence against certain grousp of people based on race, class, sex, and gender. The policization of sex/gender in a very particular space convey a sense of suffocating regulation of sexuality that is indicative of the broader social perspectives of heteronormative values and belief systems surrounding the area.
