Souldier Straps

doostrap.x2vNmQ15SyGb.jpg
It seems I get countless questions on what camera strap I use as its pretty bold looking. As you can see in the photo above of YoungDoo (Gave one to her to use with her 5DMKII) Its a pretty sturdy looking strap. They are actually made from seatbelt material and are available in any color you could want. They are hand made to order and incredibly sturdy and trustworthy. There is an optional padding you can get added to the center of the strap that is a rather bland looking grey color but it does a great job of holding your camera in place and adding a small amount of extra padding if your carrying around a heavy camera.

The company that makes the straps is based out of Chicago and is called Souldier. Some of you may recognize them from a popular photography blog/store called Photojojo which sells a few colors from their shop but I would suggest buying straight from the source on Souldier’s website where you have well over twice the color selection than Photojojo carries and the option to add padding to the strap. The company also sells all sorts of other types of wonderful vintage looking straps for both cameras and guitars and really I cant recommend them enough for those of you looking for a nice strap for your camera.

You can visit their website by clicking here or visit the shop page for the seatbelt straps here (which is located in the 2“ strap section).

A quick, simple desktop today. This was a Canon Canonet QL-17 that YoungDoo bought while I was in Seoul. The view is from my apartment window which I miss having! I know there are plenty of readers who love cameras as much as I do so I thought there would be at least a few people around who would enjoy this.

Quick note as well, while I am writing a post here. I have noticed a huge increase in traffic lately here to the site and its motivated me to pick up my plans to refresh the design of the site as well as introduce a few refinements on how things flow so I can build for a better future here on the site. I have the design mostly done, just needs some tweaking then coding it into place so wish me luck with that. Hopefully I can get things in place over the next couple of weeks for that and launch sometime next month. I just wanted to make note of that upcoming transition because I am pretty excited about it. In the mean time, I have plenty of nice wallpapers lined up for release and I will do my best to keep them coming in the coming weeks as work starts to pick up during the spring rush. I also have a new music post coming which will include a Spring music mix for everyone, something I would like to turn into a monthly or seasonally available thing. At any rate, thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Finally, A Taste Of Spring

Oh yes, Spring has finally arrived after what seemed like a winter that would never end. While I have sort of hit the ground running after getting back from Seoul I managed to sneak outside to snap a few new photos for everyone one sunny afternoon. Nothing too groundbreaking here but I thought some of you would appreciate a nice fresh desktop for the season. I will try my best to get out there and shoot some more to celebrate the return of the sun and the green but hopefully you can find something here to enjoy.

I have included seven different images, all of which have iPad and iPhone versions! All of this can be downloaded at once in a zip file. To make things easy for you iPad visitors I have included direct links for you which can be accessed by clicking through the “read more” link. Then simply touch the image you would like to get for your device and touch and hold the larger version that loads and save it to your device. Due to the large amount of images in this post I will have to ask iPhone users to use the zip to access the files and sync them with your phone from your computer. (if you need them otherwise let me know and I can add quick links to them here as well)

To download the zip containing all of the images here in all formats simply CLICK OR RIGHT CLICK HERE to download the zip which also contains the terms of use for anyone who needs to be reminded that these images are for personal use only as your wallpaper. Just a simple mail is all it takes to inquire about other uses of the images. Thanks for your support, stay tuned for more images in the near future. I have a lot planned for the site this year!

These rules also apply for any artwork or imagery submitted and shown within this site which was created by an artist aside from myself. Any images submitted and shared as wallpapers are the property of the artist who created them and in the same manner as my images, you are asked to receive permission before using them in any way aside from their intended use. Any use of these images outside of for your own personal use as a desktop wallpaper image is prohibited without permission from the author of the image. Commercial licensing is available upon request. Please write with any inquiries.

When sharing images via your personal blogs I kindly ask that you link back directly to either the post the image was taken from or the base of the website at www.fiftyfootshadows.net and give a credit to www.fiftyfootshadows.net. Do not re-post full resolution desktop images anywhere without permission. if you would like to use an image for your blog background or something of the sort simply write to ask first. Support the artwork you admire! Also, it is greatly appreciated if you do NOT link directly to the zip files. This is more or less the same as re-posting them as it circumvents the tiny bit of support I ask of you which is to simply link back to the original post for others to enjoy the site.

It’s not fair to artists if you do not credit their work and link back to the original content creator. It is theft plain and simple and blogs that attempt to somehow be mysterious by not giving credit to the creators are simply hurting the artistic community as a whole. If you love it so much then please, support it! The artistic comunity on the Internet is based on trust. Without trust then what do we have? are you going to be one of the responsible users out there or will you be among the bottom feeders, stealing content and passing it off as your own to make a quick buck in ad sales. Use your best judgement and we will get along just fine.

Thank you for your understanding and support!
