Deftones around the fur who is the girl

Well 20 years later, the fine folk at Pousta. The girl's name is actually Lisa Hughes, she's from Washington, she's in her 40s, and enjoys hiking, biking, snowboarding, and camping!

I wanted to see it first, but had a hard time getting a good copy, so I had Maverick Records fax it to me. It was a little dark and hard to see. But I said yes for sure use it. I wanted to see it first, but had a hard time getting a good copy, so I had Maverick Records fax it to me.

It was a little dark and hard to see. But I said yes for sure use it. She also addresses the rumors that she and the photographer hated each other during the shoot, saying "none of that shit is true. My friend who did my sleeve sent me a picture of a tattoo he ran across which was me, I have seen a few online, too. Nope, no original. I have the CD album cover and some posters that I kept, but they are not hanging in my house. I used to have one hanging in my house years ago that was pressed onto wood, it was really cool, but it got lost over time moving here and there.

Have your stayed in touch with the band, or met them when they play in Seattle or something? Unfortunately, I lost touch with Stephen years ago. I used to go to many of their shows. Stephen is who I used to try to keep in touch with but time passed and life happened.

Could you send out a message for all the Deftones fans in the world that have been in love with you for the past 20 years? The story goes like this: Chino Moreno and Stephen Carpenter, who were very enthusiastic skaters and bikers, liked Rick Kosicks work he did as a photographer for skating mags. They called him up and he travelled to Seattle to take some photos of the album recording process. We wrote him and asked if he could answer us a couple of questions about the photo that made one of the best covers in metal history, according to Revolver mag.

They were recording the album in Seattle, Washington. I believe it belonged to Pearl Jam. They were recording their album onto tape like they did in early days of making records. And I remember the band being super stoked on what they just did, and wanting to keep going. I was just shooting photos during the process. Did you ever imagine that the photo you took 20 years ago would still be as relevant as it is now? I had no idea this photo would have such an impact as it did after all these years.

I guess people like seek out positivity and live vicariously. That night the photo was taken, there was a bunch of people hanging out and I was running around taking pictures and I saw that girl sitting with her legs in the Jacuzzi.

I only took two photos of her and one of them ended up on the cover. I remember stopping by the office one day to have a meeting with the art director. Sorry, I forgot his name.
