Bugs

Some objects are so bizarre that they almost beg to be photographed and reinterpreted. Such was my impression of this creature - a large prawn headed for someone’s dinner table via an outdoor fish market in Edinburgh. “Bugs” is a term used by crabbers and lobstermen when referring to their catch. Among other references, the name recalls the disdain for this seafood prior to its “discovery” as a delicacy (some states actually had laws against feeding lobster to prison inmates more then a few times a week, on the grounds of cruel and unusual punishment, as it was seen as the equivalent of eating rats).
