A photographer wandered around my workplace looking at all of the men's
hands. They were doing a closeup shot and needed just hands. More than a
little strange.

I had the same experience while working for a (very)
small company called
Northwest Digital Research.
I was asked to point to a big HP plotter that was running one of our
programs... and the photograph wound up in our product brochure.
Of course, I had nothing to do with that program...

were just DEC employees that caught
somebody's eye when they were
planning the shots.
"Planning" may assume facts not in evidence :-)
Some photographers wandered around my employer of the time, Recognition
Equipment. (Like my Canadian girlfriend, you haven't heard of it.)
I was near enough to a piece of machinery to be told "point to
that console like you are doing something to it". So somewhere
in some ancient Annual Report you can find a picture of a clean-
shaven me. My 15 seconds of fame.
Well maybe not all 15.
So the "plan" was, we're on deadline, get some shots.
