Reminiscences
This was my first photo shoot with Nirvana, in the spring of 1988. We went to Bainbridge Island off Seattle, where Chad Channing lived. I really liked those pictures. It was close to the end of the day and I had the idea of putting them into a field of poppies. Kurt was very relaxed - in fact he was cracking up as I took the pictures.
