Photographer Kirk Weddle is most well-known to Nirvana fans as the man who shot the famous baby-in-the-pool photo that graces the cover of Nevermind. But that image isn’t the only one Weddle captured for the band. On October 28, 1991, Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic met up with the photog at a Los Angeles pool to take some promo shots based on the already-well-recognized cover image.

“I remember Kurt was like, ‘####! I have to get in the pool?’” Weddle recalled. “He was not a water guy at all.” Making matters worse, the shoot was at 10:00 a.m., the weather wasn’t prime for swimming outdoors, and the band had just gotten off tour. Cobain was so beat he even took a nap poolside.

Even so, Weddle managed to capture nearly 200 images of the band in and around the water, even with their instruments. For years, many of these pictures have remained unseen. “I’ve just kept them stacked in a closet, unorganized,” said Weddle. Recently, however, a few appeared in Montage of Heck, and Austin’s Modern Rocks Gallery has made many available for sale.

These photos also appear on 'Montage of Heck', which was absolutely awesome if you are a Nirvana/Kurt fan.

Was just going to say the same thing.

Even if you're not a Nirvana fan, Montage of Heck is an incredibly insightful look into the life of one of the most iconic figures in music of the 1990's. Very personal stuff.

I applaud Frances Bean Cobain for being a part of it and Courtney for agreeing to not have any say in the final product.

Well worth a watch.
