Ah, bed bugs. This is the first photo we’ve ever seen of a street sofa wrapped up like this, trying to keep people away. It comes from the streets of East Williamsburg and there’s actually a full photoset that functions as a kind of short chronicle of bedbug infestation. Regarding a different kind of vermin, the same photographer has a series of photos called Rat Overdose showing a dead rat in Bushwick artistically posed with a Heineken bottle cap and a bottle of brandy. Fun.
