Want to go to another location?' and he says, 'No.' So I say, 'Monte [Melnick], [[Warner Brothers]] gave me $7,500, I can't give them three rolls of film. They'll skin me.' Monte shrugs, 'Don't worry about it. Johnny doesn't want any more pictures.'

The photography for ''Halfway to Sanity'' was done by George DuBose, who had also done photography for the band's previous three releases (''[[Subterranean Jungle]]'', ''[[Too Tough to Die]]'', and ''Animal Boy'').<ref>{{Harvnb|True|2010|pages=213, 249, 279}}</ref> The front cover's picture was taken in an old stairwell in [[Chinatown, Manhattan|Chinatown]], where they had DuBose's cousin and his cousin's friend—who are credited as "Husky Bros." on the ''Halfway to Sanity'' [[liner notes]]<ref name="true 284">{{Harvnb|True|2010|page=284}}</ref>—block off the crowd while the photo session was in place. DuBose and other crew members set up red lighting and a [[fog machine]]. After DuBose's camera went through three [[reel]]s of film, Johnny insisted that was enough, to which DuBose replied that the record company was paying him a lot of money for the shoot, so they should make it worthwhile.<ref name="true283">{{Harvnb|True|2010|pages=282–283}}</ref> The session, however, only lasted 10 to 15 minutes,<ref name="true 284"/><ref name="melnickxxi"/> and was done in a poorly lit area, which Johnny said was "pretty good not to make us look old, and it was getting harder and harder."<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ramone|first1=Johnny|title=Commando: The Autobiography of Johnny Ramone|date=2012|publisher=[[Abrams_Books#Abrams_Image|Abrams Image]]|isbn=978-0-8109-9660-1|page=160}}</ref> The back cover photograph features green [[tombstones]] in a Jewish cemetery.
