Strapped Camera Co.

The announcement of the New Zealand-Australia travel bubble has us a little bit excited about the potential of travel to the land of the long white cloud (& mountains, lots of mountains) again! 🎉

In the meantime, here's some photos sent to us by some beautiful people from our Strapped Camera Co. community during their last visit. You're welcome. 💛

"The hills are home for me..."⁠

🗻 TOG SPOTLIGHT 🗻⁠
⁠
We got to chat with the amazing Zara Staples Photography from over the ditch in New Zealand and hear some of her story:⁠
⁠
"When I was 9, my Nana bought me a Kodak disposable film camera for a trip to Australia, that is my earliest memory of taking photos with a camera. I never got the photos developed funnily enough but that began my love for photography.⁠
⁠
I grew up both in a small city on my grandparents farm. Most of my memories are from the farm, where my Poppa would point out tree types, the birds and details that make the world and farm work. [👈 LOVE THIS] So I believe that is where I developed my eye for detail and appreciation for nature. ⁠
⁠
Mountains and light inspire me most. ⁠
⁠
The hills are home for me."⁠
