I knew that working with lobsters was going to be a problem for me. I am pretty squeamish. I went to the pet store on Fulton in Bed-Stuy to borrow some little ones. I figured I could handle that. I got five. I named one Laser in honor of the late bat that kept me company in my college apartment in Madison. The others got names but that doesn't really matter now that they are back at the pet store.
It took me a whole day of shooting to get the photo I wanted to paint. The fruit kept getting foggy because it was so hot in my studio and the lobsters kept running away or getting dehydrated. I had to constantly rotate them out so that they didn't get cooked in the fluorescent light.
