These photographs were taken between 1971 and 1979.

They include family, friends, schoolmates, girlfriends, enemies, nerds, jocks, hippies, stoners, punks, proto-punks, weirdos, people who are no longer with us, people I don't remember, people I loved, people I still love. Everybody was young and beautiful, and as members of the yet unnamed Generation Jones*, we had an innate pessimism based on our experiences growing in in the Sixties, with its social upheaval, political unrest and general air of cynicism. We were carefree, ignored by our parents  and blissfully androgynous. 

He's in love with rock'n'roll, whoa
He's in love with gettin' stoned, whoa
He's in love with Janie Jones, whoa
He don't like his boring job, no

-Janie Jones, The Clash, 1977

*Generation Jones is the generation or social cohort between the baby boomers and Generation X. The term was coined in 1999 by American cultural commentator Jonathan Pontell, who has argued that the term refers to a full distinct generation born from 1954 to 1965.
