Mitchell Kearney was a teenage jazz drummer, which led to photographing local musicians. “One night in the fall of 1974, I walked into CBGB to see and photograph the Ramones. Before I could sneeze, Dee Dee barked out ‘1-2-3-4!’ and the buzz bomb of guitars, drums, and vocals which followed reset my understanding of live music forever.”[2]
And so began Mitchell’s life as a punk rock photographer,
