The ‘Nevermind’ album of the ‘90s band Nirvana has one of the most iconic covers of all time, featuring a baby boy in its “birthday suit” swimming toward a dollar bait.
Spencer Elden, the baby in the photo, is now 30 years old and he has filed a federal lawsuit against the estate of Nirvana’s band members the late vocalist Kurt Cobain, drummer David Ghrol, and bassist Krist Novoselic, among others who were involved.
An underwater photographer, Kirk never had a baby as a subject before the said image.
Since it was “old-school” photography, they trained with a doll first before doing the actual shoot with the then four-month-old Elden.
But doubtful of the photos since it’s showing Elden’s privates, he took half a dozen more photos of baby girls.
For some Gen X Filipino fans of Nirvana, the album cover was never seen as a form of child pornography.
