Hello Hello 👋

🥾 Inside this week's letter S upporting Local Artisans: Unique Handcrafted Souvenirs Time for a New Instagram App F ujifilm's Ultra-Rare, Limited Edition X100V Top 3 A I Product update & special promo Today, I have a blend of interesting updates and captivating stories to share with you. So, let's dive right in!

(Note: It's little longer letter compare to previous weeks)

🚀 Supporting Local Artisans: Uncovering Unique Handcrafted Souvenirs Have you ever noticed how some travelers go abroad only to seek out familiar comforts from home? It got me thinking about the true essence of travel which I shared couple of week ago. The whole idea is to step out of our comfort zones and discover new things, right? So why would we look for the same things we have back home?

When we travel to a new place, we often have a vague image in our minds based on books, movies, stories, or pictures we've seen in the past. We do some research on how to get there, what to see, and the local way of life. We want to know how people live, how they've evolved, and where we can capture the best photos.

Sometimes we follow guidebooks and visit popular tourist spots, but personally, I prefer taking the road less traveled and exploring the countryside and small villages. It's in these off-the-beaten-path destinations that you can find truly authentic souvenirs, and the best part is that your money goes directly to the locals who crafted them.

⛵ By purchasing handcrafted souvenirs directly from the artisans, we not only get unique and meaningful mementos, but we also support their livelihoods and help preserve their traditional skills. It's a win-win situation. Plus, when you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance! So, why settle for mass-produced items when you can bring back something truly special? Let's explore the world of local artisans and uncover the hidden treasures they create.

As they say,

When you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance! Now, let's move on to the next exciting update.

🚀 Forget New Twitter - It’s Time for a New Instagram The launch of Threads , Meta’s new Twitter killer, has catapulted some of us into a social media midlife crisis. What is it all for , anyway? Maybe some shiny new app will bring meaning and texture back to microblogging. But also, do we need so many shiny new apps?

Retro is a fresh and photo-focused mobile app that is here to change the game. It released in Apple’s app store this week , and coming to android soon.

Retro in Apple App Store Its founders have a mission to bring back the genuine connections with family and friends in our social media feeds, moving away from brand marketers and celebrity reels. With Retro, you can share and view photos with the people who matter most, making it a more private and personal experience.

Unlike other platforms, Retro encourages you to share select photos from your phone's camera roll, creating a curated collection of memories. It's like having your own time capsule of moments, with your photo albums grouped week by week. Plus, Retro focuses on the power of photos without the distraction of filters, and it keeps video clips short and sweet.

With Retro, you can rediscover the joy of sharing moments with your inner circle, away from the noise and clutter of mainstream social media. It's like the good old days of Instagram, where every photo felt like a meaningful part of your story.

Retro’s weekly photo strips are a clever way to separate the highlights from the errant screenshots and expense receipts, and they make looking back at photos a lot more fun too, similar to the way Instagram albums once felt like a quilt of greatest hits. It’s worth trying if you are like missing old instagram days.

Now, let's move on to the final update for today.

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. 🚀 Fujifilm's Limited Edition X100V Camera Collaboration with Disney Another exciting news in the world of photography! Fujifilm has teamed up with Disney to create a truly special collector's item : the limited edition X100V camera .

This collaboration between Fujifilm and Disney is a first, resulting in a camera that is not only functionally identical to the existing X100V models but also comes with a unique touch of Disney magic. Limited to just 100 units, this collector's item will be available ONLY in Hong Kong, adding to its rarity.

What sets this camera apart is the attention to detail. It comes beautifully packaged in a hand-crafted wooden storage box, adorned with a black-and-white Disney-themed wrap. Inside, you'll find a set of accessories that perfectly complement the camera. A wooden commemorative engraved card with a unique certification number adds an extra touch of exclusivity. The wooden box itself showcases craftsmanship while embracing the concept of green environmental protection.

But that's not all! The camera also comes with a black leather case, designed to fit seamlessly along the bottom and proudly displaying both the Fujifilm and "Disney 100" logos. The included gray camera strap bears the same logos, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully designed. And to top it off, a metal thumb rest accessory is also included, bearing both brand logos as well.

Each camera is individually numbered from one to 100, making it a true collector's item that combines artistry and rarity. Whether you're a photography enthusiast, a Disney lover, or simply appreciate the beauty of limited edition items, this camera is sure to captivate you.

Remember, opportunities like these come once in a lifetime.

🚀 Here are the tools I found interesting last few week and still exploring Keyframes Studio is an all-in-one platform for creating, editing, and repurposing videos for social media platforms. VEED is an online video editing platform that helps users create professional-quality videos quickly and easily. Breeze.ai tool uses AI to generate professional-quality product photos and social media content in seconds, reducing costs and time spent on photo shoots. There are lot more to say like interesting app for your business, photos organiser etc. I will keep for next week :-)

Until the next email, keep clicking those shutter buttons and let's be mindful of our environment 🟢.

Cheers!!
