Intimate Portraits Of 1980s San Diego’s Rebellious Youth by Harold Gee

American photographer Harold Gee captivated the punk culture, fashion, and rebellious lifestyle of San Diego’s youth in his stunning photographs from the 1980s. He was photographing boys and girls of San Diego in the clubs, roads, beaches, workplaces, local-hangouts, and even in their homes. Harold captured all the angst and excitement of being caught between adulthood and adolescence.

“Some photos from my crazy life immediately following the era of the initial punk scene in San Diego. It’s difficult to demarcate where my personal life leaves off during this period.” Harold Gee said..
