Kevin agreed to sit on the couch for us for three reasons: 1) he had seen us photographing another couch some time ago and had asked people about what we were doing, so he knew about the project, 2) he had once taken a summer course in theater at Transylvania and felt a degree of allegiance to us for that reason, and 3) we complimented his outfit and enabled Kevin to admit to everyone that he dressed that day hoping to be photographed (one of his necklaces had a bejeweled version of the baby from The Family Guy). However, it was hard to keep him committed to the project as groups of people kept driving by and yelling at him to get off the couch because it had bugs. A yoga mat we kept in the car as a deterrent to bedbugs saved the day.
