About Last Night... Jesse Frohman's "In Bloom" Opening at the SoHo Grand

Last night Jesse Frohman had an opening at the gallery at the SoHo Grand. He shot those epic pictures of the late great Kurt Cobain shortly before his untimely death in 1994. The show is titled, "In Bloom," appropriately enough, and features seven never before seen shots from the epic shoot. You know the pics. They're the ones where Kurt's wearing those funky white-rimmed sunglasses, he's smoking a cigarette in nearly every shot, and there's a cocktail in hand. He's wearing a long, bizarre cardigan with a great pair of tattered jeans. I caught up with Jesse at the party and asked him about the shoot:

These pictures are iconic. I have admired them for years.

This shoot was supposed to be a five hour shoot. We had to do it in 15 minutes. It was crazy.

Well, they're AMAZING. What are these additional beauties?

They're flowers I shot a few years ago.

Well, they tie in nicely with the whole "In Bloom" theme. Thanks for this. Awesome stuff.
