Forever young, forever drunk: what do the rebels of the 60s look like now

Categories: Photo project

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

Former party-goers and rebels of retirement age after many years are still "in the stream": tattooed old women, skinhead gamers, elderly skateboarders, mods, fire swallowers, nudists and rock 'n' rollersmen.
