This week we are starting an occasional themed show called Analogue Entrepreneur where we get to talk to people about the business side of their creative work. Who better to start us off than our very own Rachel! Little Vintage Photography

What energises you about photography? Is it people, books, exhibitions, heated discussions about your favourite film stocks? Whatever it is, it’s a glorious thing to get positive energy from a creative endeavour - and that’s what we talk about this week!   Also, we launch the new round of the cheap shots challenge with the theme - Harvest.

You know that moment when your kickstarter completes and all your experienced friends say "now's when the work really begins"? This week we have the honour of luxuriating in that feeling with Dave "Alfie" Faulkner of Alfie Cameras as his rollercoaster continues.
