I will scream it loud and proud, Alice Wheeler!

Her photos of Pike/Pine from the Nineties would be great to see about now.

Fair enough, but how is this the last straw? JG's outrage seems disproportionate. It's not like the galleries are burning Wheeler's non-Cobain works. Time to cut out sugar and caffeine?

I would imagine there might be a couple of people not familiar with the history of Wheeler.

One Cobain photo for the sake of biography maybe isn't that big of deal...

Is the driver in "What Women See" having a wank behind the wheel?

I agree with Jen; photographs of Cobain = instant turnoff, meaning I would never see the others. I like the others.

You wouldn't like her if she hadn't taken pictures of Kurt Cobain.

Hmmm, let's try a Venn diagram. The intersection of the sets of "photographers I like" and "photographers who have ever taken a picture of Kurt Cobain", previously believed to be empty, now turns out to have a single member -- Wheeler. I'm afraid this makes your proposition false, T. Teller.

I checked: nope, no room for Peterson. No room for any rock'n'roll photography, in fact.

Alice unbelievably talented. I can't even find words. These jpegs in this post don't even begin to illustrate her body of work... or how beautiful her actual color prints are.

and #6 - I'm lucky lucky to own this print! It's big and beautiful and that man is indeed having a nice wank behind the wheel...

Incidentally, this is the first thing that comes up when her name is googled: http://www.henryart.org/image/celebskin/wheel_kurt_mtv.jpg

So the cult of The Stranger loves this photographer...that can't be good.
