HeyJaredWhat the girls are on about
Every week I sit at my desk, and I send a newsletter that is my ear to the ground, telling you, what the girls are on about. Paying subscribers also get a monthly newsletter on what I've been on about that month. Soon: Interviews with the Tastemakers.

I have 5 different film cameras at home, of various vintages and levels of ‘expertise’, but I’ve made the jump back to digital along with everyone else. I still keep my 1999 samsung point and shoot film camera in my bag at all times, but every time I take a photo I think “that’s going to cost me £20 to see one day”.
