gordy's camera strap team
|
All of our straps are made on the south end of Whidbey Island, just north of Seattle. I started making these straps in 2005. The days where I could do it all myself are gone. Now it takes a team. Here are the faces of the Whidbey Islanders who bring you gordy's camera straps.

Gordy |
 |
| Gordy founded gordy’s camera straps in 2005 after he realized that other photographers could benefit from his new strap designs. Gordy designs the camera straps and oversees the running of the business. He does the product photography and web site. Photography has been his passion since he purchased his first camera at age 13. You can see his photographs at his online portfolio: gordoncoale.com. |
Kim |
 |
| Making the straps starts with Kim. She cuts the hides into straps, makes the pads, strap bumpers, and tripod screws for Tassa our assembler. Then she becomes our shipping department and packages and mails the camera straps. In the spring and summer Kim can be found in her garden. |
Tassa |
 |
| Tassa is our assembler making gordy's camera straps. She grew up on Whidbey Island where she mostly learned to play well with others. She became a barista in Seattle, worked at a theater company in Brooklyn, made pizza, learned to tango on Maui, and then studied french pastry in France and Port Townsend, Washington. She also has an obsession with cats and learning the secrets of the universe. |
