Jamie Newman is a native to Manhattan Island. Photography was the first media to ignite his passion and intrigue in documenting the innermost workings of the New York City, and the inhabitants who call it home. Jamie has been involved in media related ventures (professional and otherwise) since the age of 18  – honing his own biting brand of (backhanded) snark while serving as Editor in Chief at the liberal arts school he attended in the “scenic Hudson Valley” in Upstate, NY. Following graduation in 2004, Jamie worked for YRB Magazine, where for the next two years he grinded it out as Associate Editor/Music Editor.

A recent addition to the China Shop crew, Jamie strives to report his vision of the world he inhabits in New York City and any other locales his explorations of music, art, and fringe elements of society may take him. He also maintains a blog, www.StarvedArtStar.com, a site dedicated to his sardonic bent on his city’s cultural pulse. In addition, Jamie is also the Music Editor for NYC based site www.mapcidy.com
