Like the allure of vinyl records, classic video games and even the early internet, the fascination with older photography standards like point-and-shoot cameras or 35-millimeter film persists — even in people too young to remember when that gear was cutting edge. The appeal of “vintage” photography goes beyond nostalgia and Instagram filters, judging by the huge number of apps designed to emulate the film, lenses and visual quirks of predigital photos and movies.

On October 24, 2023, an unusual message streaked into the sky from a horse park Lexington, Kentucky. It was perhaps the strangest transmission from the Bluegrass State since Hunter S. Thompson penned a “decadent and depraved” account of the Kentucky Derby in Louisville more than five decades ago.

Before we start, I must reveal a few truths. Firstly, I am not a regular TikTok user. Secondly, I have spent a large part of my career working in luxury fashion. It would seem then, that Uniqlo's viral $20 shoulder bag should be the last thing on my shopping wishlist. But 1.7 seconds into a video posted by @caitlinphillimorvideo and I've forgotten who I am and what I know. She’s already unpacked a pair of headphones and a large packet of biscuits from inside. Is it a clever camera angle, a trick of the eye, or could this small nylon number be the modern answer to Mary Poppins' magic carryall? After seeing the hefty amounts of impressions on this one video, I quickly realized she’s not the only one in awe of the bag's capacity.

During the week between Christmas and New Years, I played eighteen holes “at” the famed Ocean Course at Mexico’s Cabo del Sol. The next day I teed it up at Loch Lomond in Scotland, and two days later snuck in another quick 18—after dark—at Canada’s classic Banff Springs. Each round averaged just over two hours, I never lost a single ball, and I did it all without a passport or plane tickets. No greens fees. No rain. BYOB. I didn’t even have to wear a collared shirt.

Saying that social media videos aren’t always trustworthy feels like the biggest no brainer of the century. But in an era of AI, videography tricks, and influencers trying literally anything to garner attention, it bears remembering that when it comes to TikTok, not everything is as it seems. Take this video of a train journey through Skagway, Alaska.
