camera strap
It’s here!
By Silver Blue
Better than I could have imagined!
Over at Jodie’s Camera Straps — Jodie made the magic happen. She has many, many styles and colours of straps, can digitize logos, has over 100 different colours of thread, and best of all, this took less than a a week from design to production to mailing. Three days from Texas to Virginia, and … 10 minutes from box to being on my camera. 🙂
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with a stock camera strap except that… well… it’s a stock. If you set your camera down, there’s nothing to identify YOUR camera from the next person’s, especially if they, too are using a stock strap.
But Jodie goes the extra mile with her creations. She doesn’t embroider your name, logo, or combination of both on a piece of material, and then sew that piece on a strap. My particular strap has my logo and name at each end. It’s one continuous strap. Plus, she puts padding between the top strap and the strap that goes over your shoulder/around your neck. The comfort was noticeable immediately.
I look forward to a long, happy relationship with my camera strap (I bought two – one for each of my cameras) and I know that the next time I’m in the market (or if I know of someone who is in the market) — Jodie will be who I turn to.

My identity!

As you know, if you’ve followed me (or read the archives), my logo is a series of concentric triangles bisected by a diagonal line, overlaid by a blue phoenix:
Well, my treat to myself was embroidered (monogrammed) camera straps. This way, my equipment is visibly mine, with my logo, and my name. Thanks to Jodie’s Camera Straps I’ve been able to make it a reality. On each end, by the camera, you will see:
Those who know me know that I have a penchant for reversing the colours in Silver and Blue. It’s a personal quirk of mine. Including two hats!
This was the first. Then, when I found a black hat, I had to reverse the knots.
This actually came a couple years after the white hat. Still, notice the Silver and Blue are reversed in colours.
It’s what makes me happy, and isn’t that what life’s about in the long run?
