Lil modern Ed wip, inspired by NY Street fashion photography. I'm still backpacking (currently in Bahol) so enjoy a grainy ass photo of the babygirl in question.

It occurs to me I haven't drawn this guy in his canon leathers that much... should probably fix that.

Summary: Sasuke's orderly life at elite Sairiumu Academy is disrupted by the arrival of Hinata, a timid transfer student whose obvious crush on him, a young man dedicated to his craft and his current relationship, stirs unease.

go to Chapter List>

vi

He was sorely mistaken to think anything he said to Hinata would make a difference.

He’d been agonizing over Inuwashi’s theme: mood boards that lacked spark, books, and magazines strewn about in his office; he just couldn’t find inspiration. But it was high time he made up his mind. 

To go above and beyond, things have to be right at the onset. Neji entrusted him with that much. He shouldn't steer the club publication aimlessly, taking up whatever social issue seemed relevant, slapping random pretty photos into one collection, submitting it for the Kage Jinkoutekina Radiance Capture Merit Prize Competition, and calling it a day. 

Sairiumu's Photography Club's inception can be traced back to a small group of visionary students who, driven by a passion for documenting and preserving history, embarked on a journey to capture the essence of their era through the lens of a camera. Over time, this led to archives that date back 300 years, amassing a rich tapestry of visual history that chronicled the evolution of culture, society, and technology of former Konoha, now Metro Konoha.

Indeed, the archives are the Photography Club's pride and heritage, and Sasuke's predecessors didn't shy away from utilizing its treasures for older issues of Inuwashi. Even so, it didn't win them a Kage-Jin, as it is fondly called in the photography world. He studied previous winner publications and found two common traits: a stronger theme, and high aesthetic value. 

To clear his mind, he took a week off school—a privilege he has as club president—and went hiking along the mountain trails of the Konoha Natural Reserve. He ached for the serenity and the scenery by the lakes; animals are also easily his favorite subjects. Convincing an increasingly distrustful Sakura to let him go solo backpacking for a week had taken great pains so it came as a bitter disappointment when he found the trails packed with tourists. 

Though he managed to take pictures and enjoyed the view, he wasted his time when he returned that Monday, the day of the qualifying exhibition for aspiring new members, without a solid theme still. Adding to this stress was seeing Hinata Hyuuga’s name on the list of participants who made submissions. Had he not taken a week off, he could’ve rectified this mistake with the recruitment committee early on, not during the exhibition proper when he strode at noon where it could be unseemly.

“Are you sure you checked all of these names?” said Sasuke, his tone dripping with accusation. Already, he could feel stiffness returning to his muscles, the pressure steadily increasing at his nape. 

Tenten tilted her head curiously, taken aback. “What do you mean? We’ve checked everything twice. All these names have their entries inside with designated bead urns all accounted for.” There had been a case of hacking during online voting in the past, so the recruitment committee took to devising creative means year after year.

“Isn’t there a master file that shows the exhibit numbers with the names? Show it to me,” he demanded, his nostrils flaring as he kept his anger simmering at a level. If he were to ask directly which one is Hinata Hyuuga’s, he would seem more suspicious. All entries were identifiable only by their assigned number.

Tenten hesitated for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly at the unusual request. “I’m sorry, Sasuke, but that file is strictly confidential. Only I, as committee club head, have access to it.”

Sasuke raised a brow. “I’m the president…” He let the sound of the title hang in the air and when this didn’t seem to convince Tenten, he added: “Read the club rule book. There are exceptions given to the club president.”

“But that’s how I’ve been instructed by the upperclassmen before I assumed office. Only I can know the master list–”

“I do things differently,” he replied. “It’s crucial that I understand the quality of this year’s candidates. Besides, I’m not going to vote.”

“You can, though.” Tenten remained skeptical and avoided his eyes, much to Sasuke’s irritation.

He let out a frustrated sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. He ought not to make a scene, not in the open where teachers and other students could be out and about. Reminded of this, Sasuke regained his calm. 

“I’m not interested in who makes it,” he assured her, “I’m only interested in what they can do and how they think. Now, show me!” He held out his hand impatiently.

Tenten looked up, a hint of concern crossing her features. “Fine,” she replied cautiously, unlocking her tablet and handing it to Sasuke. “But please understand, the file contains sensitive information.”

Satisfied that he got what he wanted, he sent Tenten and the others to take a break. As he scrolled through the master file, he realized why Tenten was so protective of it. The document contained sensitive details like family background, home addresses, and contact information. And, truly, it hadn’t been an error on the recruitment committee's part— Hinata Hyuuga unabashedly made a submission, despite all that he said.

Exhibit #67: Hinata Hyuuga 

Father’s Name: Restricted Data

Mother’s Maiden Name: Restricted Data

Home Address: Restricted Data

Past her other personal information, equipment used, and post-processing details was the brief description of her entry:

Mourning doves are everywhere, so commonplace that they fade into the background. Does it make them unworthy subjects? Who truly notices them?

All Sasuke needed to remember was the number sixty-seven. He could easily make up a reason to disqualify her, but his curiosity got the better of him. Who is she really? Why is her family information classified? What made her different from the others? Maybe her photo would give him some clues into her psyche.

He slipped into the exhibition hall, his ears straining for any hint of approaching footsteps, and moved in with deliberate care, avoiding any noise that might draw attention. To his surprise, he found Neji Hyuuga standing by entry number sixty-seven, his hand deep into an unlocked bead urn which would then be weighed at the end of the day to determine which top fifty new members got the most votes via porcelain beads. 

How he got the key, Sasuke could only guess. Such a lowly crime that Neji Hyuuga is forced to commit. 

Whatever his reasons were for pocketing in some beads for Hinata Hyuuga’s urn to lose some weight, Sasuke carefully took another turn and pretended the second time that he had just arrived.

“Neji, what brings you here?” 

Sasuke adjusted his manner to be more casual, easier to play untarnished by the curse of knowledge of Neji’s crime. He couldn’t help chance a glance at exhibit number sixty-seven, of mourning doves bathing in a puddle on the side of the road, their wings as though ballerina arms outstretched, their faces of satisfied bliss while cast on the reflection of the murky water were the faces of preoccupied pedestrian impatient to get to their destination. 

Neji paused at the sight of Sasuke and smirked in that regal, smart-alecky way of his. “If I didn’t know you any better…” His smile then slipped into a pensive frown. “There’s no shame in doing what’s best for the club. Better believe me when I say this one getting the most votes is bad news.” 

Sasuke perused Hinata Hyuuga’s photo some more. “The most votes you say? Surely none in this row.” He then looked at Neji and half-smiled, assuring a mentor and friend that he’ll keep silent about it regardless of the underlying reasons.

Neji smiled back in mutual understanding. “Let’s go out to dinner sometime. After my exams.”

“I’d be delighted,” replied Sasuke. “But… would you mind if I ask why?” 

Neji went around the other entries to drop some voting beads on the ones he deemed somewhat palatable. “It’s best to avoid some people, Sasuke,” said Neji. “They might look normal… speak normal for the most part. But somewhere along bits and pieces here and there, you’ll realize it’s better not to get entangled with such certain people even if they’re family—maybe especially if they’re family. You’d be more careful not to be associated with such kinds of people.”

I Don't Love You, I Worship You

Summary: Billy Hargrove was enthralled from the second he met Anya Murlock and determined to make her his.

CW: There is smut in later chapters, some threats of violence, overall kinda wholesome...

Stranger Things Masterlist

Chapter 1: The New Girl

“Have a beautiful day, my gorgeous girl!” Anya smiled when she heard the sing-songy sound of her mother, Carly, saying her goodbyes that morning. She paused in the doorway and craned to glance into the kitchen where her mother stood drinking a cup of coffee, “Will do, Mommy. I love you.”. Carly responded with, “I love you more, baby!” resulting in Anya shaking her head with a grin. Carly always managed to get the last word in during the morning goodbyes.

Anya pulled on her backpack strap nervously as she walked down the street. She was nervous about starting a new high school her senior year, but it was okay. A new scene was always good; this move felt more permanent to her. She slipped her headphones over her ears to help the walk to school go by faster. 

As she walked into school, Anya felt eyes on her. She pulled her sleeves over her hands and quickly found the front office. “Excuse me?” Anya asked, attempting to get the receptionist’s attention to no avail. “Excuse me?” she asked louder. The woman finally turned to face her and asked, “What’s your last name?” “Murlock.” “Mmhm.” the woman turned to open a drawer. She dug through papers until finding what Anya assumed were student files. The woman turned to face her, “Okay, Anya, here is your schedule, locker assignment, and school map. If you have any problems, feel free to stop by the office at the end of the day, okay?” Anya nodded in response and quickly walked out of the office.

First-period English. Unproductive, boring, and simplistic. Anya was satisfied to pair up with a girl named Nancy for their first essay project. She seemed nice and had a soft face; as their teacher droned on the importance of Shakespeare literature for modern literature, Anya found herself distracted doodling in her notebook. She said goodbye to Nancy at the end of class.

Second-Period Math. Pointless, Anya couldn’t follow her teacher’s rambling and once again found herself doodling in her notebook. The bell couldn’t have rung any sooner.

Third-Period Social Studies. Anya was ready to go home at this point. Unlike the prior classes of the day, the teacher called on her. “Okay, Anna, when was the Mexican border war?” “Oh um, 1910-1919…. Also, my name is Anya, not Anna…” Anya swallowed, hoping she hadn’t pissed the teacher off. “Oh, my apologies. That was correct. The Mexican border war.” Anya turned her attention back to her drawing until the bell rang for lunch period.

Anya loathed the idea of needing to find a place to sit. Her eyes quickly scanned the large room until she found an empty table in the opposite corner. She maneuvered through a maze of tables and took note of the groups she’d passed; it was like any other high school. She was intrigued by a group of boys wearing shirts branded with ‘Hellfire Club.’

Anya sat down and put her bag on the table before slipping her headphones back on. She pulled her notebook out again and went back to her doodling. As the music played, Anya crunched into an apple and looked around the cafeteria for more people to draw. Her eyes settled on a guy a few tables away; she liked his soft blonde curls and blue bedroom eyes. She took a mental picture of him and turned back to her sketchbook.

Fourth-Period Science. Anya felt her eyes glaze over at one point.

Fifth-Period Gym. Thankfully, they didn’t have to do much that day since it was the first day.

Sixth-Period Art. Finally. Anya felt at home. She took her notebook out again and returned to the day's doodles. Art was the one thing Anya felt good at. Drawing, painting, photography, everything felt simple and homey.

The final bell rang, and Anya slipped her notebook into her bag before exiting class. She was distracted with thoughts of what she would do when she got home when she bumped into someone. Anya looked up to see the boy from lunch standing before her, “Oh, I’m sorry.” she apologized; she noticed his jaw clench as he looked down at her. She stepped to the side, but he continued to stare at her, “What’s your name?” he finally asked. “Anya. Anya Murlock.” he nodded. “I’m Billy. Don’t make it a habit of bumping into me.” his face was like stone, and Anya couldn’t help but admire his sharp jawline and high cheekbones. “Okay…” Anya said softly before walking away.

Billy watched Anya as she walked away. She was new. He noticed her breasts as they spoke and couldn’t help but stare at her butt as she walked away. He scoffed as he turned to head into the gym for basketball practice.

Billy slammed the front door as he left for school the following day, it was only 7 AM, and he was already pissed. Neil was yelling at him about taking care of Max and how he needed to be more responsible if he wanted to continue living under his roof after he graduated.

As Billy got closer to school, he noticed Anya walking. He slows to a crawl and rolls down his window, “Anya.” he called out to her. She looked over her shoulder and smiled. “Want a ride?” she shrugged in response, and Billy put his car in park before unlocking the passenger’s door. He watched her smooth the bottom of her dress as she put her backpack at her feet, “So you’ll get into any stranger’s car? Good to know.” he joked as he watched Anya shift in her seat. Anya shrugged before asking, “Are you going to murder me?”. Billy chuckled softly. “Maybe.” he put his car back into drive, and the two drove the rest of the way to school. Billy noticed Anya’s head nodding to the music as she looked out the window. New. Cute. Good taste in music. Billy was fascinated. 

When the two pulled into the school’s parking lot, Anya thanked Billy for the ride and walked inside. Billy stared at her as he also got out of the car. He leaned against the driver’s side door and fiddled with a cigarette before placing it between his lips. Anya would be his.

The first half of the day went by slowly. Billy noticed Anya walk into the cafeteria that day. He watched her sit in the corner and dig through her bag; Billy must have been watching her more intensively than he thought. Tommy H. hit his arm, returning his attention to the group’s conversation. “You tryin' to hook up with the new girl or something?” he questioned, silently wishing he could do the same. Billy shrugged. “She’s interesting.” as he turned his attention back to where Anya had been sitting, she’d left. Billy rolled his eyes and stuck a piece of gum in his mouth; she’ll be his.

I know that the time warp is mostly just VDL gang but hypothetically if it wasn’t how do you think characters like Hamish and Albert Mason would act in present time? They are my absolute favorite side mission things and I already finished them :[

Albert Mason would struggle so much god bless him but man could barely survive 1899 let alone trying to cross a street in any major city in modern era.

Arthur just has to pick him up by the scruff of his shirt to stop the poor guy getting hit by a car 90% of the time. albert mason needs a monkey backpack for his own safety moreso than sean does.

it's so fun imagining albert interacting with the rest of the VDLs. lenny would help teach him about photoshop and photo editing and after the initial moral dilemma of 'am i doctoring photos to suit my own goals? :c' albert would love photoshop. cackles maniacally as he removes his thumb from photos.

he would have multiple phones just because he liked the cameras on them differently. honestly he would just have a shelf of cameras. side point when people time warp they have everything that was on their persons at the time so he would still have his original camera but the struggle to get prints for an 1880s camera would force him to convert to modern technology. his favorite would be disposable film cameras even if the guilt over the environmental impact would keep him awake at night.

albert would also get along with kieran super well because he has such great vibes and they could infodump on one another. you know when two people with wildly different hyperfixations both just listen to one another talk? that's kieran and albert.

they adore sitting in the backyard as a little window of flourishing nature in the suburbia. arthur is still supervising nervously in case either one of them finds a way to get themselves killed but kieran is merrily tending to his vegetable patch while albert is taking photos of hummingbirds and butterflies

ALBERT WOULD GET SO INTO ENTOMOLOGY AND MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY HE WOULD BE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT SAVING THE BEES. he wanted to save the environment in 1880 imagine him learning about how much diversity there was in insects. this would have only started because there was a spider in his place and he was too scared of it and squeamish to kill it.

he would be a freelance photographer who would still hate pomp. hates taking wedding photos, any kind of formal event, even pet photography would bother him because he's used to real, wild animals not overgroomed dogs that barely look like dogs

but the second other creators asked him to take photos he would be so excited he would really struggle to ask a fair price for his services.

if he had a gun and knew how to use it he would shoot influencers on sight but he loves cosplayers and those hyper-realistic fantasy posable art dolls. he can be caught at any convention very much wondering how much to charge people because he's just so honored to be able to take photos of their creations like artists supporting artists he doesn't want to take their money but he's hella tired of instant noodles too

his true passion would be trying to photograph cryptids he would have an x-files i want to believe tshirt and arthur would go on expeditions to find mothman with him

phew one down lost my mind a little there I ALSO JUST FINISHED HAMISH'S QUESTS I LOVE HIM

he adjusts the fastest purely based on levels of 'do i look like i give a fuck'. oh, we're in the future now? wild.

getting a modern day prosthetic after walking around with a slab of wood for decades would be so mind boggling. let hamish sinclair get a running blade and after a realistic learning period he would love running and getting to enjoy the outdoors and hiking trails with far more independence than 1899 could afford an amputee

he would still share stories about the civil war making it clear he was talking about the civil war and people would just roll with it because what are you meant to do when an otherwise super chill and friendly veteran seems delusional. he has such a captivating way of telling stories it's frankly worth it

he haunts local fishing spots complaining about folks these days and their fancy high tech gear and no one knows how to make their own lure anymore but they all love him

he has the most hideous souped up all terrain all weather fwd mobility scooter he also named buell and he absolutely should not be allowed to drive it because he never received lessons and just decided to figure it out himself at the expense of every pedestrian in his way but he would love being able to go shopping by himself and not needing to rely on people

isaac calls him grandpa but always calls him hamish to his face because hamish would hate being called grandpa but hamish does 110% believe the kids are alright. he lets isaac tie a rope to the back of his scooter and hoons around with the kid on a skateboard.

pulling up to the matthews house blaring the shrill horn of his scooter 'get in loser we're gon' hunting'

he would still live on his own in a prefab cabin arthur very illegally helped him build on public land by the water in his own house building chapter. the fact it is still standing by the time john gets there is a miracle and they practically have to rebuild it from scratch

hamish is blissfully aware/pretending to be blissfully unaware of the absolute glare hosea gives him because arthur will always complain and whine when hosea wants to go fishing with him but if hamish asks arthur's skipping out the door with his fishing rod

no one is allowed to hate on hamish. as much as hosea is bitterly jealous of how well hamish and arthur get along because 'that's my son' hosea, hamish, javier and kieran would all meet up and go fishing on the pier together sharing tips, bait, handmade lures and cook fish on an open fire on the shore

when charles gets there arthur is as nervous about charles meeting hamish as a kid introducing his partner to his parents for the first time. they would get along so well but it wouldn't seem like it. they go hunting together and arthur is so anxious because charles and hamish have pretty much only said hello to each other and are otherwise silent the entire trip but asking each privately later they absolutely adored the other's company and can't wait to see each other again.

Week 2: School Life at SJTU

Welcome back to this week’s blog on school life in Shanghai!! Before I reveal SJTU’s beautiful campus to you, I want to introduce a puzzle game called Flow Free. The rules are quite simple; the goal is to find a path that connects the same colored dots until all dots on the grid are successfully linked. The key is to employ a strategy that ensures no paths criss-cross. Now let’s get more applicable; imagine that the grid is a school campus and the colored dots are the students’ starting points and final destinations. When the school bell rang and dismissed the students, everyone hurried off in a disorganized scramble. As I was surrounded by a swarm of bikes, mopeds, and pedestrians, with my left hand ready on the brakes and right hand holding onto my phone, I steered carefully on a clear path and followed the map’s highlighted route to the nearest canteen.

Slow and Steady.

In this photo, I did not fully capture the bizarre traffic shortly after the school bell rang, when the road became, amazingly, a uniform bike line.

I am now in my second week of classes, and I have picked up my photography skills to show you around our campus. Get ready to immerse in Shanghai's school life :))

Biking to campus 🌤 : My earliest class is at 10AM, and I count myself very lucky to avoid the 8AMs. It gives me sufficient time to apply my sunscreen, grab my backpack and fully charged devices, and walk to the cafeteria downstairs for a steamed pork bun. I refuse to start reviewing convolution integrals on an empty stomach. With my 0.5 USD breakfast paid through WeChat Pay, I exited the main gate, scanned a blue bike parked on the sidewalk, and took off.

The newly constructed bridge from above is the shortcut path I take to save almost 10 minutes of my daily commute. I pedaled past canals where I sometimes see people practice rowing for the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival. A steady drum beat always announces the boat’s presence before it steers into clear view, the oars collaboratively moving in unison to glide the boat smoothly through.

You can kind of see a sneak-peek of the rowing practice on the canal above.

Here is where I attend my EECS216 lectures every Tuesday and Thursday mornings. With Calculus 3 meeting online, my Chinese Culture class starting next week, and after dropping Math471, this building is where I have been attending classes regularly. Using direct translation, the building is named Bottom Courtyard. The two neighboring classroom buildings are Top Courtyard and Middle Courtyard. I like the naming system here; it’s simple without needing much effort on memorization. The classroom buildings are also very pretty with modern Chinese drama’s high school/college life vibes. On the first floor, there’s a big screen that shows each classroom’s availability and the rooms that are colored green are open for students to go in and study. I usually arrive to class early and wander leisurely for half an hour. The room always feels stuffy when I first get there (maybe because of the 15 minute bike ride from my dorm); it felt less hot during class. Sipping my takeout soy milk, I prepared myself for the beginning of Chapter Two as the room began filling up.

An hour later, the most calming school bell announced our 10 minute break. In another hour, we got dismissed and braced ourselves for the road traffic that’s about to come.

The SJTU campus is HUGE; oftentimes, I find class to class or class to canteen needing a 10 minute bike ride. There are not many cars on the campus, which is expected. I imagine it’d be very inconvenient to inch forward slowly and squeeze past bikers and moped riders who dominate the main road. 

I hope you're not too hungry because we're about to check out delicious canteen food!

Each canteen offers a wide variety of food—anything that I can imagine for a satisfying meal— beef noodle soup, sizzling claypot, Korean bibimbap, and self-fixed Malatang. Some stations are cafeteria style where students pick up a tray and grab platters along the counter. But most food stations are self-order, which means I need to read the Chinese characters on the menu and decide on what sounds the best. Usually, pictures of the dishes are provided, and they help me a LOT on my decision making. I'm grateful whenever there's a line that gives me time to make up my mind. When there's so many options, it becomes unbelievably hard to choose. After I finally decided on something, I paid for the meal with the Siyuan Code on the My SJTU app, which I also use to enter the campus gates. The wait-time is not bad, with the food usually ready in less than five minutes. Then we picked up our chopsticks and dive in (there are no forks offered in the canteens).

As I've mentioned in my previous blog, there are a total of seven canteens. I have gone to Canteens 1,2, and 5 and that leaves 3,4,6, and 7 to check out. The exploration of all canteens is diverted by the fact that there are many food options called Waimai to explore on takeout apps that do convenient delivery. When I don't have in-person classes, I usually rely on Waimai and as I'm writing this blog, I'm going to order Beijing Duck for lunch.

This is mei fun noodles and wonton soup I had for Waimai a few days ago.

Back to school... For on campus studying spots, I prefer open classrooms over libraries because most seats in libraries require reservations and they can also be pretty crowded. Besides the triple Courtyards I mentioned above, there are three newer classroom buildings that are conveniently named East Top Courtyard, East Middle Courtyard, and East Bottom Courtyard. The triple East Courtyards were constructed in recent years, and the rooms are much nicer. I asked my buddy before about SJTU school color and she said it's red, as you can probably tell from the color of the campus buildings.

Here are some on-campus scenery I want to share with you all :)

I happened to pass by the botanical garden when the roses were still in blooming season. That's me with my all time scissor hand ✌️

Passed by a loquat tree.

It is not too far into the summer yet, and there are a couple of loquat trees on our campus ready for harvesting. Loquats are mildly sweet fruits that look like apricots but in my opinion, taste way better. Sadly, I rarely see them in the U.S.

This is all for this week's content. I hope you had fun reading, see you all next week!

But not before the Beijing Duck arrived :) Bye bye!

Advancements in engine technology have also played a crucial role in the evolution of microlight aircraft. Today, many microlights are powered by efficient and reliable two-stroke or four-stroke engines, offering pilots a smooth and responsive flying experience.

Types of Microlight Aircraft

Microlight aircraft come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each designed to suit different flying preferences and requirements. Some of the most common types of microlights include:

Flex-wing Microlights: Also known as trikes or weight-shift microlights, these aircraft feature a flexible wing suspended from a lightweight frame. Pilots control the aircraft by shifting their weight, providing a unique and exhilarating flying experience.

Fixed-wing Microlights: Fixed-wing microlights resemble traditional airplanes and are equipped with rigid wings and a conventional control system. They offer greater speed and stability compared to flex-wing microlights, making them popular choices for cross-country flights and aerial photography.

Powered Paragliders: Powered paragliders combine the simplicity of paragliding with the convenience of motorized flight. Pilots wear a backpack-mounted engine and harness, allowing them to take off and land in small spaces with ease.

The Thrill of Flying Microlight Aircraft

For many aviation enthusiasts, flying a microlight aircraft is a dream come true. From the moment you take off to the exhilarating sensation of soaring through the clouds, every aspect of the experience is unforgettable. The open cockpit design of microlights allows pilots to feel the wind on their face and experience the true freedom of flight like never before.

Flying a microlight also offers a unique perspective of the world below. Whether you’re cruising over rolling countryside, skimming the surface of a tranquil lake, or admiring the breathtaking beauty of snow-capped mountains, the views from a microlight aircraft are nothing short of spectacular.

Safety Considerations

While microlight aircraft offer an unparalleled sense of freedom and adventure, safety should always be a top priority. Pilots must undergo thorough training and certification to ensure they have the skills and knowledge to operate a microlight safely.

Regular maintenance and inspections are also essential to keep microlight aircraft in optimal condition. Pilots should conduct pre-flight checks and follow all recommended procedures to minimize the risk of accidents and mechanical failures.

The Future of Microlight Aviation

As technology continues to advance, the future of microlight aviation looks brighter than ever. Innovations in materials, propulsion systems, and avionics are making microlight aircraft safer, more efficient, and more accessible to pilots around the world.

With their unique combination of affordability, simplicity, and adventure, microlight aircraft are sure to remain a beloved fixture of the aviation community for years to come.

In conclusion, microlight aircraft represent the epitome of freedom and adventure in the world of aviation. From their humble beginnings to the cutting-edge technology of today, microlights continue to inspire pilots and enthusiasts to explore the skies and experience the thrill of flight like never before. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of soaring high above the clouds, why not take the leap and discover the world of microlight aviation for yourself? The sky’s the limit!

Inventory element 6: Polaroid instant camera

The Fujifilm Instax Mini was introduced in 1998 as a compact instant film camera, offering quick, credit card-sized prints. Its origin lies in Fujifilm's commitment to instant photography innovation.

I bought this as a gift to myself while I was in California in 2018. I was only in the country for roughly 60 hours but wanted something that would last a long time and remind me of my travels.

The camera is significant to me since I carry it in my backpack every single day. Ever since I bought it, it has been with me since opening that box. It reminds me of my time abroad when I was younger and didn't have to worry about buying my own groceries or washing my clothes.

The camera's blend of nostalgia and modern design showcases the enduring appeal of tangible, instant photography. It inspires me to create products that evoke emotion and foster unique experiences through a physical outcome of pressing a button.
