</ul>
<p></p>
<p>The book will feature photography from the original wave, much of it previously unpublished. The text will be accessible to the complete newbie. I don't have the resources for heavyweight research but I hope to make it interesting by drawing on a wide range of viewpoints from people with a stake in the mod culture. </p>
<p></p>
<p>If there are not too many objections I will try to make contact here with people who are happy to share their thoughts and experiences with me for the book. I'm looking for interviews, mainly from street level people.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If there is anything you want to say to the world about mod then please respond to this thread and I will approach you for interview. </p>

<p>Hi all</p>
<p>I'm shooting a photographic project on Mods as part of a personal project over the course of the next eighteen months or so...</p>
<p>I am looking for subjects who, ideally, grew up against the backdrop of the late Seventies, Quadrophenia and The Jam, who live and breathe the code of the mods and who still embrace the clothes, the music and attitude (to a degree anyway). If you're a bit younger - or a bit older then I'm sure you could be accommodated if you have the right…</p>
<p>Hi all</p>
<p>I'm shooting a photographic project on Mods as part of a personal project over the course of the next eighteen months or so...</p>
<p>I am looking for subjects who, ideally, grew up against the backdrop of the late Seventies, Quadrophenia and The Jam, who live and breathe the code of the mods and who still embrace the clothes, the music and attitude (to a degree anyway). If you're a bit younger - or a bit older then I'm sure you could be accommodated if you have the right look.</p>
<p>My diary this year means that I will not be able to attend the Scooter events where I was hoping to recruit some sitters so here I am on this forum. The shots will be studio based - though I'm not ruling out location shots - here in the Sevenoaks area so hopefully I can find some subjects in the south-east who can travel easily to the studio.</p>
<p>I hope this is of interest - would love to nail around a dozen subjects which means I'll probaly need about 15-16 sitters.</p>
<p>Text me - with a photo - if you're interested to 07932 659060 or email on info@jonathansyer.com. You'll need to sign a model release too which simply allows me to use the image for display purposes.</p>
<p>Thanks & hope this is of interest to you all.</p>

<div>Preference will be given to anyone that has their own vintage scooter, (or who can borrow one from a very kind contributor!) as the filming will involve scenes riding a scooter.</div>
<div>Filming will occur in <b>London</b> (Camden) sometime over the next 2 weeks, over 2 days midweek.</div>
<div>If anyone has a vintage scooter they'd like to lend us for the filming, or knows someone that does, please get in touch! </div>
<div>Also please feel free to forward to friends you think may be interested/be able to help in any way.</div>
<div>Let's make these scenes happen!</div>

<p><span>Fashions came and went. The mod thing started in the 50's with college boy haircuts, brown Italian suits and white macs. <b>It was very much a London thing. Real mods never wore anoraks or had scooters with fur and loads of mirrors. That's a load of bollocks - they were way behind the times. The mod thing proper was over by 1965 whatever anyone might claim - it became fashion after that. Mod fashion was a street thing</b>. Whatever was the style there was always suits but of course lots of other stuff. There was a time when the uniform was suede or leather jackets in all colours (the good suede jackets had a leather half collar) and full length coats in the same material with white levis worn three inches above the shoe which had to be these square toed black things with a wavy sole and black socks or at a pinch dark blue. To this day I won't wear any socks bar black. We used to have our suits made at Leslie Andrews on Deptford Broadway and they cost £64 mohair or tonik which was a f*cking lot of money then.</span><br/><br/><span>People were a bit more careful.

<p>I recently got back into the MOD scene - having been a mod for a couple of years in the late 70's. </p>
<p>I was thinking of coming down to Brighton for the weekender </p>
<p>Just a few questions...</p>
<p></p>
<ul>
<li>How hardcore is it ? - Im a married man - and although my wife is keen to come - she isn't really into the mod scene at all </li>
<li>For reasons I won't expend on - I don't ride a scooter </li>
<li>Also some non mod friends would like to come along…</li>
