Henri Cartier-Bresson used a bit of stealth photography to capture daily life but he wasn't trying to create a hidden surveillance device. He stayed within social norms of "visible photography". His talent was in anticipating human moments and choosing when to press the shutter. In that he was not that different from Ed van der Elsken who absolutely engaged with people. But with the same goal: to capture moments of daily life. #smartglasses are the polar opposite of this: always on, mindless.
