I was driving along the coast to Waimea on the North Shore of Oahu when I heard on the radio that Kurt had shot and killed himself. Because reports had come out of Rome of an attempted suicide days earlier, the news wasn't shocking as much as it was just sad. He had made so many breakthroughs in terms of expressing pure emotion. That's what I wanted to capture in his portrait, a lost pioneer in the realm of the heart.
