'I'm actually looking at the gold record they gave me right now. 'I was really stoked to be a part of that project,' the photographer enthuses. Some of Kosick's work was also used for three other Around the Fur–related releases: a photo of a pool table appeared on a promotional cassette (and in the CD liner notes) a photo of a microphone was used for the 'My Own Summer' single and the album cover was turned sideways (and tinted blue) for the 'Be Quiet and Drive' single. I know they found her and got her to sign a release, though.' So I took the photo, walked away, and never spoke to her again. 'She made some comment about being too close to her boobs. 'She was offended because I was in her personal space,' says the lensman, whose photo book Fuck You, Fat-Ass, I'm Not Down With Your Scene, is being published by UX later this year. Actually, you can see my feet right next to her.'Īs Kosick remembers it, his subject wasn't too pleased at the time. I was kinda, like, leaning over with my fish-eye, and the shot just magically happened.

It wasn't like I was up there going, Hey, we're shooting the cover. The resulting shot-the only photo Kosick took of the girl-ended up being the cover. I just saw her big tits and was like, Damn, I gotta photograph this.' I don't even know who she is-she was just a groupie, I think. 'I just happened to take a photo of a girl at, like, 4 o'clock in the morning. 'They were having this after-hours party with all these chicks hanging out in the Jacuzzi,' he explains. Upon his arrival, Kosick spent some time shooting the band in the studio and eventually brought his camera to one of their late-night soirees. Video of Deftones - My Own Summer (Video)
