"Given the obsession of the Japanese stationery industry with cute monthly / yearly planners and notebooks, this makes sense. They have a wonderful plethora of organizers and inserts for everyday carry philosophies - but I can see that it wouldn't be as useful elsewhere without the stationery organizer context."

"Man, that is clever marketing, using the viral Amazon review wig: https://www.amazon.com/Swiking-Blonde-Layered-Natural-Synthetic/dp/B08BKFWRTM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2UCVMKAZ70THA&keywords=swiking+mens+wig&qid=1636068243&sprefix=swiking+mens+wig%2Caps%2C470&sr=8-3Also thanks to Tiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelaraftery/video/7025426716415823110"

"Instantly made me nostalgic for the Motorola Aura phone, which was a real triumph of engineering at the time.  One of those things that's beautiful to behold, impractical to own."

"On show pieces seen in their showroom at least, they had an extra horizontal bar bracing that went across connecting the sides under the seat for stability. They do a great job hiding the dowels on the photography, but without the brace, it's hard to imagine how strong they hold up heavier sitters.."

"Just have to quip this bit: All these principles are applicable to ALL photography (not just SLRs). Because any camera with manual control options, from your point and shoot to your iPhone (see: Manual app) operates on the same ISO, Aperture, and Speed variables. Becoming a 'single-lens-reflex photographer' doesn't mean anything really."

"The problem with these (and the cheap plastic solutions that are already everywhere) is that they are always too short across, never spanning the width of people's ears, so the elastic on most masks have to get pulled extra tight or break. 2nd problem being that most masks don't fit right if the band nestles under the head at the neck, or up on top of the head. I like that this design at least looks stretchable."
