This picture is an apology for itself.

This picture would like to apologize to you for itself. It has nothing of interest in it. A young man is waiting for his sushi. A young woman approaches in the One Financial Plaza gallery, and behind her someone eats their lunch, a man in a jacket approaches unaware of the lack of interest that awaits him a few feet further on. I tell the photo to front itself, be still, be brave. With any luck, the expectation of the blog reader, which is like a marauding gang of bored youth, will pass by without noticing the absence of interest here. By apologizing, the photo draws attention to itself. As the Chinese say, "gaping hole draws wind".
Later I try to explain to the photo that there is very little in the skyways that is really interesting by internet standards...no murders or Britney Spears, no flaming car wrecks or felonious politicians. But the attention of the photo has already moved on. My words fall on deaf pixels.
