creating a place of your own

i always love taking a peek at people's workspaces.  you can tell a lot about a person by how much of their personal life they allow to seep into their professional environment.  from framed photos on a desk, to many years worth of accumulated post it notes - these are artifacts that tell the story of who inhabits that space.  check out these gorgeous (and at times haunting) photographs by artist joseph o. holmes.  he captures "the quasi-private spaces people carve out of their public work lives" with great respect and purity.  what have you done to personlize your own workspace?
