The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get. My camera strap sales have taken off. The downside is less time for things like this blog. The upside is being able to pay bills. I'm also looking into taking my camera strap business in another direction.

All the straps I've done so far are made from strips of leather held together with wrapped cord. Sewing leather is beyond my basic leather skills but the friend that made the above strap for my Burke & James has a sewing machine for leather and advanced leather skills. We are looking at adding a line of straps for press and field cameras.

I'm slowly working towards adding a rangefinder to my Burke & James Press and converting a second Burke & James Press to a wide angle field camera. I've started a Flickr set on this: Burke & James Press

I'm also setting up the Metz 45CL1 on the Burke & James. The Flickr set has details.

Let's see if I can get some links up today.
