They were just getting hot? Nevermind had just been released? So, the photo shoot for Nevermind happened AFTER the album came out? I don't get it.

There were two photo shoots.The baby for the album cover was the first one. The one that the photographer is referring to is the one of the band under water that was a publicity shoot soon after the album came out.

awesome read!  The album cover is as iconic as the album itself.  glad to see it from a different side.
