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 evolution through time
By Silver Blue
In 1988, I created an abstract piece of art on my bedroom wall in my parents’ house. It exists to this day:
The wall was painted Federal Slate (a light blue), and it would still be another year before I took the moniker “Silver Blue”. The width between each triangle, and the diagonal stripe is 2″ — the width of the largest masking tape I had in the house. The top blue line is 2″ wide, the bottom red line is 1″ wide, and the red triangles are 1″ wide as well.
In 2001, I digitized the wall painting, and altered it for a (then) web company called “Polo Blue Web Productions Ltd.”
This served me well, but I disbanded the company in 2007, for numerous reasons. While I still own poloblue.net, it’s closed and probably will not be resurrected. I needed a way to be reborn. Enter the Phoenix. That’s how I see myself, most of the time. In a constant state of rebirth. Old parts of me are destroyed while new parts spring forth of the ashes of my past. Ergo, my new logo (designed by Elise Heath) is:
Take that with the changes in me (from left) in 1988, 2001, and 2011.
Silver Blue, who hopes that as time goes on, I never lose the will and desire to continue evolving into newer and more exciting (to me) versions of myself.
