Photographs by Gavin Watson http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/photographs-by-gavin-watson http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/photographs-by-gavin-watson Photographs by Gavin Watson
By the time Gavin Watson was 14, he was fully immersed as a skinhead in the world of 2 Tone and documenting his friends and brother with his camera.
