Tanner Almon and his wife Vicki adventure together wearing the most eccentric of outfits and shooting cute pictures. Lucky for the rest of the world, Tanner documents the journey.

The artist had purchased the hats for his sister and mother for Christmas. They were unfortunately not so grateful. So, Almon repurposed the ‘dirty fur ball hats.’ He decided there was nothing better to do with them than wear them everywhere. The result is this collection of adorable, child-like scenes. Captured with his newly acquired [Fuji](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trunkhotel-cat-street) Instax Mini 55 camera, the photographs depict [romance and fun](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/must-be-love) that is definitely enviable. For a couple to come together and remain so wonderfully insane is as much as any artsy weirdo can hope for.

The collection is an excellent exhibition of free spirit and exquisite composition.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Eccentric Outfits:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in creating a line of clothing that caters to individuals who crave unique and eccentric outfits.
- **Adorable Child-like Scenes:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in developing a mobile app that allows users to create their own adorable child-like scenes using filters and overlays.
- **Free Spirit and Exquisite Composition:** There is a disruptive innovation opportunity in offering photography workshops or online classes that teach people how to capture free spirit and exquisite composition in their photographs.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion:** The fashion industry could benefit from embracing unconventional and eccentric outfits to cater to a niche market of individuals who value uniqueness and self-expression.
- **Photography:** The photography industry can tap into the demand for capturing adorable child-like scenes by developing innovative cameras or camera accessories that enhance the creative process.
- **Education:** The education industry can explore opportunities to offer photography courses or workshops that specifically focus on teaching individuals how to achieve free-spirited and exquisite composition in their photographs.
