Jesper HaynesST MARKS 1986-2006 (SIGNED)

In 1986, Jesper moved to his apartment on the corner of St. Marks and First Avenue. It was above the St. Mark’s Bar & Grill where the Rolling Stones had just filmed the video for “Waiting on a Friend”. It was to be his home, and the backdrop for much of his photography, for the next 20 years.

Jesper’s apartment became ‘home’ to a wonderful mix of roommates, visitors, friends, lovers, total strangers and people that just needed a place to crash ... or party. It also became the place where he photographed – blurring the lines completely between his life and his art. Everything was spontaneous. ‘I just made sure I had a camera in my hand.’
