Marc Vallée Picture Library – marcvallee.co.uk

No surprise that I have spent the majority of my working year documenting political dissent. Along side of this, I have been reviewing my achieve of youth culture pictures from the 90’s, with a view to digitize them for my picture library. Without doubt this inspired me to shoot more youth culture pictures this year and is something I want to do a lot more of in 2011.

I’m not saying the protest project is over, far from it, but my focus is definitely shifting. This refocusing is clearly reflected in this edit. Picking ten pictures from the many thousands I have made over the last year has not been easy. I hope you like my edit.

The Blog and I are now on a hiatus and we will be back in the new year.

Enjoy!
