We present to you a photo project of the London photographer Muir Vidler called Rebels Without a Pause ("Rebels out of time"), dedicated to the British informal people of the 60s. 

Former party-goers and retired-age rebels are still "in the stream" many years later: tattooed old women, skinhead gamers, elderly skateboarders, mods, fire-eaters, nudists and rock ' n ' roll fans.
