Photographs by Abby Gennet at Photobetty. "...A few years ago, the surge of surveillance cameras entered into our society. All kinds of people were buying these tiny hidden cameras: concerned parents watching over their children's caretakers, store owners checking up on their employees, perverted voyeurs spying on their guests, etc. They were in our parks, subways, malls, bathrooms, dressing rooms, elevators -- they were everywhere. Although the majority of these spy cams were meant to protect us and make us feel safer, I didn't feel safe at all. I felt spied upon. My privacy had been invaded. I couldn't even walk through Washington Square Park without feeling as if some tightwad in a suit was kicking back at his desk watching out for hot girls in short skirts (and the occasional pickpocket or pot dealer!). This was when I began shooting my Surveillance Stills series."
