Quite possibly the most unflattering photo I took of Kurt, but I love it. It speaks to that day at least, that’s for sure. I had a migraine, Kurt was obviously frail and somewhat dope sick, along for the ride, my lighting and set up sucked. In retrospect I should have just hauled them down to the alley and shot them there, in their original element. But the ugliness of this picture is also the truth of the time, in many ways, literally and figuratively. - Charles Peterson About Charles: The architects of grunge were captured from their humble beginnings to meteoric success primarily by one main photographer: Charles Peterson. He became Sub Pop’s unofficial house photographer and his relationships with the bands Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and more pushed Peterson’s work to global prominence.
