The Jack Siegel 'No Retrospective' site is not another [nightlife photography site](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starchild-rooftop). Siegel is iffy about the label “nightlife” that his work was given due to the popularity of his old diary-esque site, 'Skull Set,' which starred [photographs (shot on film, not digital)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) of his skinny, hip and young friends.

His new venture, No Retrospective, is more like a [collective online gallery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/myphotossite), a place where his pretty posse including Gia Coppola, Harley Viera-Newton and Lucien Marc Smith can show their work.
