Joey Ramone of the Ramones
Photography by Mitchell Kearney
“The scene at CBGB was always very relaxed before, after, and in-between shows. So talking to and getting to know Joey was easy since he hung out there even when he wasn’t performing. My hope was to create a true portrait of Joey, so one night after the band returned from some England dates, I approached Joey; he asked if his cat could be in the photo…? I snapped “sure,” and two minutes later we had rounded the corner from CB’s and were climbing up the face of the ground floor store’s accordion grating to his second-floor apartment window (“I left my key inside”). I always wondered why Joey only wore those skinny white Keds sneakers, until I watched him climb 16 feet straight up that diamond-notched wall of steel like he was walking up an escalator. Can you tell that his cat—“Cat”—was happy for the attention?”
