I’ve done this before. I expect to do it again, but with more attention to keeping my damned fingers out of the picture. Or does that add to the grist of the image, with no pretenses of secrets as to where or how these surreptitiously-taken photos originated? We all co-exist, mostly unknown to each other, with my determined but unaccomplished goal to remain invisible.

If that is you in one of these photos, now you know I captured your image in a way you most likely did not notice, and that you might pay attention to next time you pass by a non-working LinkNYC machine. One could interpret the stubbornly persistent WiFi icon at the center as a bleating attempt by this Smart City machine to remind oblivious passers-by of its relevance.
