The kind of attention that doesn't want to be seen
Read about a Berlin artist who made himself invisible to AI cameras, and it got me thinking about attention you don't ask for vs. attention you do.

I keep a private journal, and there's a certain route I check on before taking new clients up. If another guide who knows that terrain asked me about it, I'd talk all evening. Anyone else, I'd just say it's a hobby.

I leave a small quirk in every hydraulic system I rebuild—a specific leak rate or a certain chatter in the lift. Most operators never notice, but another mechanic who knows their stuff will read it like a signature. The wrong person sees a breakdown; the right one sees a hello.
