Pics from photographer Kirk Weddle's long day with the band in 1991
The 1991 day photographer Kirk Weddle shot Nirvana's Nevermind album cover was not necessarily a pleasant one. "Bad weather, bad swimming pool, cloudy water," Weddle recalled in 2011. "Kurt was a couple hours late and then went right to sleep at the side of the pool, and nobody wanted to wake him up." Perhaps it wasn't the greatest plan to photograph a touring rock band early in the morning – but you can't argue with the results. Weddle's shot of baby Spencer Elden grasping for the all-mighty dollar underwater is one of the most iconic images in rock history, and the ensuing session he did with the members of the band is remarkable, too. Now a fuller collection of pics from the shoot are available for sale from Rock Paper Photo. Read More Here: source: http://www.rollingstone.com
